Mr. Tourtillotte wrote the following poem about his painting "Knowledge":

A visual deposition                           thinking as form
Love of learning                              book, letter
Fascination with fact                         sight, sound
Desire, acquire knowledge.                    analog, digital
                                              neighborhood, globalhood
Ask a question, sow a seed                    value, hue, harmony and
scratch, unearth                              discord
water, weed
time + space + atmosphere                     Question. Knowledge 
meditation. distillation.
ready ripe, yield

                             
                                              William Tourtillotte, 1994
