All my work keeps going like a pendulum; it seems to swing back to something I was involved with earlier, or it moves between horizontality and verticality, circularlity, or a composite of them. For me, I suppose, that change is the only constant.

I think, if one is a painter, all you experience does come out when you’re painting.

Painting... in which the inner and the outer man are inseparable, transcends technique, transcends subject and moves into the realm of the inevitable.

I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point. And, as the limitations are something called pigment and canvas, let's see if I can do it.

I am never free of the past. I have made it crystal clear that I believe the past is part of the present which becomes part of the future.

As I say, I as an abstract artist was active politically.

The key is what is within the artist. The artist can only paint what she or he is about.
