"If you think of white light as a metaphor of infinite, formless potential, the colors on a slide or frame of film become a structured reality ... that comes about through intelligent subtraction from that absolute formless potential. It results from the limitation of the unlimited".
"Viewed this way, the process of creation is the exact opposite of making something out of nothing. It is on the contrary a filtering process that makes something out of everything. Creation is not capricious or random addition; it is intelligent and selective subtraction. The implications of this are profound." (Bernhard Haisch)

This idea of creation as selective subtraction reminds me of the process of sculpture.
ReplyDeleteCan you elaborate on that idea?
ReplyDeleteOut of the infinite formless potential of his material, let’s say a block of white marble, a sculptor intelligently subtracts everything but the underlying form to create a work of art.
