I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work

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

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

Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

My struggle is to preserve that abstract flash - like something you caught out of the corner of your eye, but in the picture you can look at it directly.

If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.

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