Below, some snippings from The Sight of Silence, a book of the watercolours of John Cage:

Non-intention isn’t itself a process, but a purposeful decision to avoid controlling the way a work of art’s form and/or content is determined - Ray Kass.

Chance is not viewed as the enemy of rational structures, but accepted as evidence of a wider orderliness of nature beyond human control or understanding - David J. Clarke.

So;

My responsibility became: not making choices, but asking questions - John Cage.

Thus;

My work is not self-expression, but tends toward self-alteration - John Cage.
