When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

I don't paint nature. I am nature.

Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.
