Color Light Abstraction 1061 
 

"When making these pictures, I use light not to make objects recognizable, but to create beautiful pictures in color, line, surfaces, texture, forms, and space dimensions through the action of light as it strikes objects.

"Like sound, light exists everywhere and provides an unlimited means of creative expression. Also like sound, it is a vibration that affects us both physically and psychically. It is completely plastic and both natural and artificial light can be broken up to express all colors. Some of the forms I create are of non-recognizable objects, others are non-material. The non-material forms are created by controlled out-of-focus images made up of pure light.

"As sounds in a musical composition can be used not to express physical objects but ideas, emotions, harmonies, rhythmic orders and most any expression of the human mind and spirit, so light can be used visually to express the mind and spirit."

~ Wynn Bullock in a letter to Haku Imaizumi, Director of Fuji Service & Trading Co., Inc., dated September 17, 1961.
