All The Fingerprint Paintings Are Done Without

It Always Amazes Me That Just When I Think There's Nothing Left To Do In Photography And That All Permutations And Possibilities Have Been Exhausted, Someone Comes Along And Puts The Medium To New Use, And Makes It His Or Her Own, Yanks It Out Of This Kind Of Amateur Status, And Makes It As Profound And As Moving And As Formally Interesting As Any Other Medium.

When You Come Up In The Art World, Whatevers In The Air, The Issues Of The Moment, End Up Becoming Part Of The Working Method Or Modus Operandi Of How You Think About Doing A Painting. And I Came Up At A Time When-actually Painting Was Dead When I Came Up. Sculpture Sort Of Ruled.

Get Yourself In Trouble. If You Get Yourself In Trouble, You Don't Have The Answers. And If You Don't Have The Answers, Your Solution Will More Likely Be Personal Because No One Else's Solutions Will Seem Appropriate. You'll Have To Come Up With Your Own.

Ease Is The Enemy Of The Artist. When Things Get Too Easy, You're In Trouble.

Every Idea Occurs While You Are Working. If You Are Sitting Around Waiting For Inspiration, You Could Sit There Forever.
