I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction.

I don't ever work in a way where something is an illustration of an event, but when something is occurring at the same time I see it as very informed by that.

I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know how someone could make a life out it.

The investigation of making is illuminating towards that moment rather than the other way around, a reversal of the way that I would approach making a painting before. I think that it gets to a richer illumination of the moment, which is what I was trying to do at the beginning but going about it a little backwards.

I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction.

I'm not trying to spell out a story. I still think you feel the painting, and the reason you read the mark is because you also feel the mark.

You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.
