Depiction Quotes
How something is depicted shapes how it is understood. These quotes examine wartime imagery and its effect on public opinion, frustration with how certain professionals are portrayed on screen, a writer's candid question about whether her own story was depicted fairly, and a painter's focus on light as the true subject of depiction. Together they explore representation as both craft and responsibility.
Representation carries weight, much like the way Character is depicted in stories that shape public perception.

When you write about faith, people will be upset with you no matter what. I've heard from readers who were disgusted with the depiction of monotheistic religion.

I became fascinated with the concept of speak no, see no, hear no evil. And - and the actual depiction of three wise monkeys. And I began collecting it over the years. And I kind of figured that I might be the - the fourth monkey, the feel no evil monkey.

I don't really go into labels or an in-depth discussion of different value systems because for me, it's sort of the truth of the situation in D.C. Certainly, in my fictional depiction of it, there are decent, shameless people on both sides at every level.

Stained glass is unique from the outside, but as a painting insider, I know that oil painting's all about light. And it's about the depiction of light, the way that it bounces off different types of skin, different landscapes. The mastery of that light is the obsession of most of my painter friends.
