What's interesting about making art is that you take everything you know about it and you bring it up to that point, and you start making a physical thing that addresses what that is. And when you do it, you don't know anything about it - if it's going to work or not work.
I think style is a fringe benefit that looks like you made it.
It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.
It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.
I want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.
I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.
