“My work is approached like a seesaw. It is always working with opposites and going up fast or down fast and trying to balance in the middle at the same time. Either it starts out with some kind of logic and turns out to be absurd or starts out as an absurd idea and I try to make some logic out of it without losing the mystery or secret subconscious meanings it might still contain. The act of accidentally creating a mystery of absurdity is more interesting to me than too formulated a concept. It allows me more freedom to produce my own balance in a chaotic world” – Norman Catherine (Friedman 2000:85)
