  • “West’s work always requires completion by a receptive opposite; they only fulfil their function when someone actively interacts with them. The possibility of the beholder’s participation is thus always provided for, and the artist considers the manifold, individual reactions to the incentives given by the works as integral components of his art.” 
    —Eva Badura-Triska
