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.

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

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

Make something, a kind of object, which as it changes or falls apart (dies as it were) or increases in its parts (grows as it were) offers no clue as to what its state or form or nature was at any previous time. Physical and Metaphysical. Obstinacy. Could this be a useful object?

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.

Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.
