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

I'm not looking for images, They just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you look at a thing and it has no interest and then you see it in a different way and it has another meaning. Or something that was of no use will become useful.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

I tend to like things that already exist.

I am just trying to find a way to make pictures.

To do a drawing for a painting most often means doing something very sketchy and schematic and then later making it polished.

I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.
