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

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

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.

As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.

There was very little art in my childhood.

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