Color Quote by Nick Cave
![“Sound doesn't always have to be heard. Sound can also be created by how a pattern is set up on a surface- how it moves across the surface, how light reflects the surface [and] can generate a feeling. Sound can also be through feeling, through color, through texture.” quote by Nick Cave](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/618/nick-cave-1153_color_sound-doesn-t-always-have-to-be-heard-so_1661721.jpg)
“Sound doesn't always have to be heard. Sound can also be created by how a pattern is set up on a surface- how it moves across the surface, how light reflects the surface [and] can generate a feeling. Sound can also be through feeling, through color, through texture.”
