My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.

What you have to do is break all the rules.

If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.

I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.
