I first had no interest in figuration whatsoever.

It is very different when you age. The things that are significant, or what drives you, or the physical experience of being driven, changes over time.

Life really changes. And it gets lighter, for the most part. You tolerate yourself and others better.

Now, it is much more difficult for young people coming to New York. But also when you're young, you have more time to interact with one another, to discover yourself with people of your generation.

When I was young, it was an exciting time to be in New York.

Life is much larger than how we image it, always, but society can be constricting in ways.

In drawing, I often think of things as flying buttresses.
