Passion lies between one mark and the next, and also within all of them.

Passion lies between one mark and the next, and also within all of them.

A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy.

I don't really have a historical overview of my work at all. I'm not an art historian. I don't see that there's this period and that period.

I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient.

I look at my pictures, and I think, 'Well, how did I do that?

I am happy for people to talk about my pictures, but I wish devoutly that I was not expected to talk about them myself.
