Bridget Riley Mind Quotations

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.

I never make studies from nature. They would get in the way. I make use of my mind.

I work on two levels. I occupy my conscious mind with things to do, lines to draw, movements to organize, rhythms to invent. In fact, I keep myself occupied. But that allows other things to happen which I'm not controlling... the more I exercise my conscious mind, the more open the other things may find that they can come through.
