I am not strong on perfection.

Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.

There was very little art in my childhood.

Everybody is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.

There was very little art in my childhood. I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn't aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.

Generally, I am opposed to painting which is concerned with conceptions of simplicity. Everything looks busy to me.

Art is either a complaint or appeasement.
