"What kind of art would a painter interested in dance, theater, and the martial arts produce? What forms might the work of a sculptor or ceramicist take whose inspiration comes from the city, African art, tantric yoga, magic......... It would, very likely, be about movement, partnering, coupling, mock-tension, transformation – controlled frivolity. It would probably be infused with a sense of the dramatic and the erotic, some measure of visual trickery, a nice blend of rigor and gentleness"... John Loughery
