 Everything was changing and the 60s were just turbulent. We worked under typical circumstances. My work just evolved into being abstract for that time and I felt I couldn't change it. In a sense it was a kind of escape from what was happening at the time. This is a good opportunity for people to see the breadth of work that was being done during that time. It was both abstract as well as figurative and there was strength in both. We're thrilled to be in the show. It's like being around old friends. I don't think there's a kind of school here. It gives artists permission to have their own personal statement and not feel that they have to adhere to a certain kind of abstraction or a certain kind of figuration.
