"I ... concern myself with... whether nature's offerings appear to represent something or are pure signs.... We have seen modern painters first give up trying to reproduce their models exactly, then abandon models altogether and eschew any kind of representation.... It is strange to think that nature, which can neither draw nor paint, sometimes creates the illusion of having done so, which art, which has always been successful at resemblances, renounces its traditional, almost inevitable and 'natural' vocation and turns to the creation of such forms as nature itself abounds in--mute, unpremeditated, and without a model" (The Writing of Stones, 13-14).
