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.

I wish I felt energetic and could paint all the time, because there are so many paintings I'd like to do.

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

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

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

I'm very interested in how colour and shape are perceived.
