As the artist says:
"In the case of driving, the abstraction and distortion of the water are indexical to the windshield (as smoke can be traced to fire). The result is that painting, per se, can summon a pre-verbal experience- slipping outside of static referents and into a gestalt of sensation, both fixed and fluid."
Right.
Van Gogh had vison problems too, but they couldn't be solved by;
"Hey man, turn on the fuckin' wipers!"
