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.

I tend to like things that already exist.

I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.

In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.

There was very little art in my childhood.

Everybody is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.

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