There was very little art in my childhood.

I am not strong on perfection.

Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don't understand that.

I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.

Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

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.

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