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.

The negative is just as important as the positive.

Photography isolates the world via an aperture and gives the photographer the means to see differently, to achieve a spontaneous vision that is direct and uncompromising.

The most pleasurable thing in the world, for me, is to see something and then translate how I see it.

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

A lot of young painters love to incorporate celebrity. One idea of being a painter is to use what's happening at the time. Velázquez was painting of his time. And so was Rembrandt. And Francis Bacon was painting his time in London. He was a real mover, but he saw the insect in the rose. But yes, when I do a painting, I want to take the "I did this" out of it. That's why I started using chance, like the markings on the wood. I never wanted to compose.

The paintings to me are always canvas, sculpture has always been metal, though I have made sculpture in wood also.
