‘…I do most of my work in such a way that I make a kind of container, and the work generates its own set of demands and finally if possible — and this is I think the very oldest kind of idea, not new at all — it consumes itself, uses itself up, leads to a stasis of some sort. I get to a point where I’ve done as much as I know how to do. OK. So I then wait, and after a while something comes. What I tend to do is wait around for some kind of insight into how to do the next thing, you know, where does the insight come from? I don’t know where it comes from. I’m not here to make explicit appeals to the muse, or the angels, or what have you.’ — Hollis Frampton, from an interview with Peter Gidal, 1972.
