I believe that a great work of Art is a work that transcends the immediate moment into a world of Infinity, complete and finite within itself, of inevitability, and of Oneness—and that a series of such moments must result in a dynamic, unforgettable experience.
Music as an object in Time and
Space
Aggregate sounds structured into
concrete sculptured
forms.
Images existing as a totality from
their inception, each a
self-involved unit of
individual proportions.
Related, inter-related, and unrelated
images organized
into an organic whole.
Permutations occurring only within
each self-contained
unit.
Varied phases resulting from juxtaposition
of designs.
Imposed discipline by ritualistic
reiteration.
—Ralph Shapey
