But most people don't come up to me and express a lot of emotion.
It's as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it.
Color is an intense experience on its own.
Color is for me the purest form of expression, the purest abstract reality.
As a viewer, my own work elicits strong emotional reaction from me.
I was feeling a strong need to change, grow, and break with particular things that were going on in my life and my history, and the material was the perfect answer for that.
