   "Abstraction is a form of introspection, of removal. For me, abstraction thrives on the perpetual doubt arising from the conflict between wanting to represent nature versus reinvent myself, to use color to describe form versus color as form, to suggest pictorial space and then deny it. Uncertainty is interesting, and it is all around us all the time. Abstraction seems the most satisfying way to give it wings."  Brian Rutenberg
