Entries For Mixing and Organic Form
If
you’re in a coalition and you’re comfortable, then it is not a broad enough
coalition. --Bernice Johnson Reagon
The

esthetic mixtures and collaborations, introducing a full spectrum of
contradictory decisions about identity and change.
Lucy Lippard
From Mixed Blessings (p.
