"I worked on the drawings one by one. I do one and then react to that, which leads to another. It’s endless. The project took six to seven months. [..] No rulers ever used; sometimes I get a straight line."Stanley Whitney on the book project with Karma Publications in an interview with Chris Chang, October 22, 2015, quoted from: https://bombmagazine.org/articles/2015/10/22/two-stanley-whitney-books/.
