White... is death. It's hospitals. It's my terrible nurses. White is absolute horror. It is just the worst.

Abstract is not a style. I simply want to make a surface work. This is just a use of space and form: it's an ambivalence of forms and space.

My paintings are titled after they are finished. I paint from remembered landscapes that I carry with me - and remembered feelings of them, which of course become transformed. I could certainly never mirror nature. I would more like to paint what it leaves with me.

My paintings repeat a feeling about Lake Michigan, or water, or fields...it's more like a poem...and that's what I want to paint.

White... is death. It's hospitals. It's my terrible nurses. White is absolute horror. It is just the worst.
