My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.

I think the Enlightenment is leading us into a dark hole, really.

I think the ambiguity of similarity and difference is very powerful. It's the same scene in different times of year read across the grid, and, of course, different locations reading vertically. But you can get confused and lost in the series. You force the mind, which is always comparing and contrasting, to stumble ... That ambiguity is very powerful. One is getting lost and refinding oneself.

I think photography has made us see the landscape in a very dull way - that's one of its effects. It's not spatial.

If you are not playful you are not alive.

I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, "I never saw that" - but that's what artists do.

Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
