* "In Northwest coast art, perhaps more than in any other art, there's an impulse to incursion things as far as possible."
* "Haida artists worked mostly within a careful, formal system, but occasionally burst out and did crazy, absurd things which out-crazied the other people of the coast."
* "They weren't booked by the silly feeling that it's impossible for two figures to distract the same space at the same time."
