David Driskell:

I think there’s another dimension beyond the natural order of things. So you challenge your students, you challenge the viewer to see it beyond what you see in nature, perhaps, or in the natural world. And you bring your own vision. And that vision is very often conditioned by your social experiences, your living experiences and the multicultural aspect of it is somewhat wishful thinking. But it’s also real in the sense that we don’t live in a world of boundaries. We have created the boundaries that separate us, but I don’t think that was a part of the great creators, uh, plan.
