Ma appears to apply itself to an infinity of cases, figures, occurrences, it comes from an elementary structural strategy that defines the ideogram's double emblem well enough, a sun in the embrasure of a door.
- Daniel Charles (John Cage interviewer and author)

Original, personal..to integrate a philosophical agenda with a visual one.
