I'm very interested in how colour and shape are perceived.
There's an assumption that because I'm an artist, I've got all the time in the world.
For the surface, I'm not interested in painterly convention. It's more interesting if it looks like it painted itself.
When I start doing a body of work I feel vulnerable, fearful. If I stopped trusting the process, I would stop doing art.
As a painter, taking photos is a form of shorthand - note-taking.
It can be frightening to spend 5 weeks alone in a cabin in the wilderness. I was able to collect my thoughts and worked a lot - because I couldn't do anything else.
