"I did some drawings--or, rather, paintings on paper; we were supposed to do documentary drawings, but mine came out as abstract interpretation. I think the many paths, or path-like bands, in my paintings may have something to do with this experience, especially in that wherever there was agriculture going on you could see process--ghosts of former tilled fields, patches of land being eroded. I also saw large areas where the fields were all planted in the same way for the same crop yet showed unlimited visual variety. It boggled me"
