Canvas Quotes
-
Shapewear is the canvas and the clothes are the art.
Sara Blakely

Art lives on the mental plane (the real painting is not the set of dry pigments on the canvas nor is a symphony the sequence of sound waves that convey it to our ear) but, as the post-modernists insist, is reinterpreted in new contexts by each appreciator. As for gossip, which includes the vast majority of our thoughts, its essence is its relation to a unique local part of time and space.
David Mumford

Everything that we are trying to do is incredibly ambitious, and this is certainly in that category.
