I believe that one of the most important properties of a work of art is the attempt to reconcile opposites, and in their fusion to achieve a 'wholeness' or 'oneness', the experiencing of which should be revelatory - both for the artist and the spectator - something akin to the experience of enlightenment in terms of religion. I see the resolution of the problem of life and living in these same terms - a striving towards a 'completeness' by the fusion of opposites - male and female, life and death, intuition and reason (the circle and the square).
