"It is the formlessness that is sought. You bring all of your technique and experience, but when I pick up my brush I don’t even see what I’m painting. When I’m finished, I’m done and I don’t look at my works anymore because I’ve already gotten from them what I’m going to get. When I paint, I’m in a completely different place, and then I’m back to where I was—but I’m a changed person."
— Vannessa Tran
