Lot Essay

'I'm not trying to teach anybody anything. I'm just trying to actually share a kind of sensitivity and wonder I have about what we are and who we are, and it may be, I suspect, that we've forgotten that a little. And maybe it's good to be reminded that things are a little more complex and that we are a little more involved in things than it might at first appear.'

(K. Tyson, quoted in 'In the Studio: Keith Tyson', https://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/video/studio-keith-tyson).
