'I believe everything to be more of less an abstraction. The way we as human beings experience the world we live in is through the senses. The eyes 'see' the works upside down on the lens of the eye, this information is electrochemically transferred to the brain where it is interpreted by comparing what we 'see' with previous experiences. Language here is an important factor in interpreting what we 'see'.'
Gordon Bennett in Gordon Bennett, exhibition catalogue, National Gallery of Victoria, 2007.
