I can look out this window and see how this view changes minute to minute. On certain days, the horizon line disappears completely, and you get this glow of pink and gray. The sky seems to fall into the water.

Helen Frankenthaler

I had no desire to copy Pollock. I didn't want to take a stick and dip it in a can of enamel [paint]. I needed something more liquid, watery, thinner. All my life, I have been drawn to water and translucency. I love the water; I love to swim, to watch changing seascapes. One of my favorite childhood games was to fill a sink with water and punt nail polish into to see what happened when the colors burst up the surface, merging into each other as floating, changing shapes.
