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

I am just trying to find a way to make pictures.

I'm not sure what 'coming out right' means. It often means that what you do holds a kind of energy that you wouldn't just put there, that comes about through grace of some sort.

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

I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.

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

One works without thinking how to work.
