Welcome to June and the first in a series of 21 posts that trace the lengthening days , lines, and steps of the season.
“I think that everyone is on his own line. I think that after you’ve made one step, the next step reveals itself. I believe that you were born on this line. I don’t say that the actual footsteps were marked before you get to them, and I don’t say that change isn’t possible in your course. But I do believe we unfold out of ourselves, and we do what we are born to do sooner or later, anyway.”
–Agnes Martin, 1976 interview published in John Gruen, The Artist Observed: 28 Interviews with Contemporary Artists, Chicago Review Press, page 82, 1991
