"He Felt That If He Couldn't Touch His Heart,
He Could Make The Gesture" - Stoneware, 17 " x 11" x 6.5 "

Our artistic legacy, some 25,000 years in the making, is replete with figurative art from fertility stone age figures to the contemporary. Our bodies, mysterious and familiar, are our connection to the world. Artists have used the figurative as a creative jumping off point. I do too.

- Richard Garriott-Stejskal

There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea.

- T.S. Eliot, from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed into a gigantic insect.

- Franz Kafka; Metamorphosis

You can be in my dream if I can be in yours.

- Bob Dylan, WWll blues
