"A New Sense of Order (The Art Teacher Story) – A friend of mine who taught painting had all his students stand on one feet only (in front of the easels) while painting. He believed that if the student was physically off balance a new sense of order would emerge in their work."

Dorothea Rockburne

"Although I am a painter, I also have a doctorate in mathematics and so the structure of my work is mathematical. When you get into higher math, it’s thrilling. It’s living in another world. The way that mathematics always uses the elegant solution, my work has an elegant solution aspect to it. But explain it, I can’t. That’s why I do it, because it’s not explainable in language." (Dorothea Rockburne)

"Well, when you look back you’re including other peoples’ comments about the work – it becomes an accumulation of everybody’s ideas and you can’t escape that." (Michelle Stuart in an Interview with Gabrielle Schwarz, 2018)
