I feel that works of art are an opportunity for people to construct meaning, so I don't usually tell what they mean. It conveys to people that they have to participate.

Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

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

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

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.

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

I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.
