This reminds me of a quote in the front of the novel I am currently reading, which says: "By drawing a diagram, a ground plan of a house, a street plan to the location of a site, or a topographical map, one draws a 'logical two dimensional picture.' A 'logical picture' differs from a natural or realistic picture in that it rarely looks like the thing it stands for." -Robert Smithson, 'The Collected Writings'......I love this painting, and the fact that it represents the road to your home in the Congo -- more so than any more realistic or logical drawing or photo probably ever would.
