Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.

The painting has a life of its own

Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

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