Agnes Martin is a big influence in my work actually, when I first saw her, these fine grids.

And the mind actually does generate electrical currents - very weak ones and not necessarily ones that can be picked up by anyone else.

I make my own surprises and I'm always surprised to see what I do, to see it when it's finished and the biggest challenge is once I finish it, it's not a failure. It's not a flop.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.

I don't really use still photography very much anymore except to document my work.

The idea of words and photos was something that appealed to me.
