My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences. I guess, in painting, it would amount to different kinds of space being represented in it. Jasper Johns
About This Quote

New York City is one of the most diverse cities in the world. There are neighborhoods that are populated entirely by Chinese people, entire neighborhoods that are predominantly African American, neighborhoods that are largely Latino, and neighborhoods that are entirely white. This diversity of space is what makes New York City so special. Each of these spaces have their own unique characteristics that can be found nowhere else on Earth. This quote by Henry Moore is about the importance of being able to read the different kinds of spaces in the world.
