    "In Stockholm I started doing some things that didn’t quite work out, but they almost worked. Some did. They are called lithographs. I do it in different ways. For example, if I want to do a lithograph using red ink I put a tube of red ink on a piece of paper and drop a stone on it. If you drop a heavy stone on a pencil, the entire pencil is shown on your piece of paper. Other times I put paint or graphite directly on the stone and then throw the stone at paper or cloth or wood or something. They’re all lithographs, which is a term I have invented. It means making a graph using a stone." [full text here]
