I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.

Painting is the frozen evidence of a performance.

It's always a pleasure to talk about someone else's work.

Inspiration is for amateurs.

Part of the joy of looking at art is getting in sync in some ways with the decision-making process that the artist used and the record that's embedded in the work.

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.

Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don't apply to you. Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work. Every great idea I've ever had grew out of work itself. Sign onto a process and see where it takes you. You don't have to invent the wheel everyday. Today you will do what you did yesterday, tomorrow you will do what you did today. Eventually, you will get somewhere.
