When I start doing a body of work I feel vulnerable, fearful. If I stopped trusting the process, I would stop doing art.

Going on the ship felt like 100 years or one day. Timeless. Beautiful vertigo. It will continue to show up in my work.

The light in the North is constantly a thrill for me.

As a painter, taking photos is a form of shorthand - note-taking.

For the surface, I'm not interested in painterly convention. It's more interesting if it looks like it painted itself.

I paint bridges because they're in transition; you're coming or going, you're not anywhere - full of possibility.

There's an assumption that because I'm an artist, I've got all the time in the world.
