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

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

I don't want my work to be an exposure of my feelings.

To me, self-description is a calamity.

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.

Cubism is an anatomical chart of a way of seeing external objects. But I want to confuse the meaning of the act of looking.

Merce is my favorite artist in any field.
