"The space between the paintings was specific and important to me. It represents to me a moment of transformation between before and after, and following the transformation the smaller painting took such an inexplicit shape because I feel that one cannot measure exactly the effect of a transformative experience until maybe months or years after the experience." --Arnold J. Kemp
