Laughlin wrote: "This broken opening in a shattered building, by a process of natural magic, becomes the head of Havoc, the horrible head of devastation itself symbolizing the ruin which faces a society which cannot control its own destructive impulses which cannot control war. Visually, space becomes reversed, the opening becoming more solid than the wall itself."
Clarence John Laughlin in Jonathan Williams, Introduction, Clarence John Laughlin: The Personal Eye (Millerton: Aperture, 1973), 13.
