Making art has first of all to do with honesty. My first lesson was to see objectively, to erase all meaning of the thing seen. Then only could the real meaning of it be understood and felt.

Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.

My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.

All my paintings are usually done in drawing form, very small. I make notations in drawings first, and then I make a collage for color. But drawing is always my notation.

The negative is just as important as the positive.

I did not want windows, only skylights. I chose my painting wall as it has the best morning light.

Shape and color are my two strong things. And by doing this, drawing plants has always led me into my paintings and my sculptures.
