Bridget Riley Eye Quotations

The eye can travel over the surface in a way parallel to the way it moves over nature. It should feel caressed and soothed, experience frictions and ruptures, glide and drift. One moment, there will be nothing to look at and the next second the canvas seems to refill, to be crowded with visual events.

It is important that the painting can be inhabited, so that the mind's eye, or the eye's mind, can move about it credibly.
