In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.

I never wish for critics.

I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.

I have meant what I have done. Or I have often meant what I have done. Or I have sometimes meant what I have done. Or I have tried to mean what I was doing.

A-not-complete-unit, or a new unit. The elements in the 3 parts should neither fit nor not fit together. One would like not to be led. Avoid the idea of a puzzle which could be solved. Remove the signs of "thought." It is not "thought" which needs showing.

I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.

Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.
