“So ‘how’ we see the world greatly affects ‘what’ we see. No doubt, we have not always been at this level of consciousness…I think now, however, spatial feelings and, therefore, depictions of space, have a great effect on us, a profound effect. It was the growing awareness of this on my part that made me begin to be a little obsessed with ways of depicting space.”
