But the landscapes we dream are just shades of the landscapes we've seen, and the tedium of dreaming them is almost as great as the tedium of looking at the world

Interiority is indeed the key
to the mentality of the authentic Outsider,
whose work is predominately shaped
by musing and imagining.
It is in this sense that the artwork
asserts its existence, first and foremost,
as a refuge,
a defensive citadel
an intimate nest

Its when a man finds himself alone,
sinking into boredom,
when he cannot count on any sort of distraction
or pleasure coming from outside himself,
that the conditions are ripe
for the emergence within him
of an impulse to construct entirely
independently and exploiting
his own own personal use
