“The shape of things, space, color, dark and light, movement, size and proportion, brightness and dullness, the relation of one thing to another, of things to other things—these are some of what my eyes bring to me….

“I feel I am behind my eyes, and that the world is in front of them. I see 1) to bring the world closer to me and into me, behind the eyes. 2) to make me feel related to outside things. I see in order to honor the world; to be affected by it, to affect it.” —CK, 1951
