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.

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

I have a voracious appetite for images I can translate.
