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

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

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

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

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

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

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