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

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.

One wants one's work to be the world, but of course it's never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.

I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.

A-not-complete-unit, or a new unit. The elements in the 3 parts should neither fit nor not fit together. One would like not to be led. Avoid the idea of a puzzle which could be solved. Remove the signs of "thought." It is not "thought" which needs showing.

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

I am not strong on perfection.
