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

Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it. Both are impure situations, and I prefer neither. At every point in nature there is something to see. My work contains similar possibilities for the changing focus of the eye.

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

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'm not looking for images, They just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you look at a thing and it has no interest and then you see it in a different way and it has another meaning. Or something that was of no use will become useful.

One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space.

I feel that works of art are an opportunity for people to construct meaning, so I don't usually tell what they mean. It conveys to people that they have to participate.
