When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences. I guess, in painting, it would amount to different kinds of space being represented in it.

There may or may not be an idea, and the meaning may just be that the painting exists.

Merce is my favorite artist in any field.

I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.

I am not strong on perfection.

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.
