I think you do kind of slip into a trance when you look at a painting. At least I do.
I don't really get excited about good things happening to me.
I think, with abstraction, it's easy to fall into a sort of pastiche.
I think that time moves slower in painting. And maybe that accounts for a lot of the anxiety around painting in the last 40 or 50 years.
Money issue looms so large in art now. And it has absolutely nothing to do with art.
I love looking at sculpture, but there's some sort of spell that's broken with it.
