An empty canvas is full.

With me, it's much more a matter of accepting whatever happens, accepting all these elements from the outside and then trying to work with them in a sort of free collaboration.

My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.

I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

I don't really trust ideas - especially good ones... Rather, I put my trust in the materials that confront me, because they put me in touch with the unknown.
