"I have never really considered myself a painter, My concern in making images related more closely to the conceptual space of drawing, which is less circumscribed than painting... the marks define a position across the surface and are not registered in relation to limits... " - Avis Newman:

"All of my work is concerned with traces; with what is left behind as a result of processes. This work is made with paint, but it's always informed by drawing. The drawings might be an annotated diagrams on a chalkboard or marks that accrue when embracing conditions of chance - registration of actions and acts of thought - Martin Pearce
