quotevadis: “The less choices I have, the more freedom I can have to experience those choices. As an example, a teapot on the stove really rocks and moves and makes noise when the heat is on high, because the aperture where the steam comes out is so small on the teapot, that it jumps all over the stove, but a normal pot doesn’t jump when the heat is on high, because there is a big huge opening at the top of the pot. Limiting your choices gives you power.” — Channa Horwitz, a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, United States. She received a B.F.A. from CalArts in 1972 and has been making logically-derived compositions for the past five decades. Her visually complex, systematic works are generally structured around linear progressions using the number eight.
