I Don't Want My Work To Be

I Think That One Wants From A Painting A Sense Of Life. The Final Suggestion, The Final Statement, Has To Be Not A Deliberate Statement But A Helpless Statement. It Has To Be What You Can't Avoid Saying.

Working Is Very Important To Me. Probably Because As A Child I Was Taught That Work Was Good. I Don’t Believe It Intellectually But I Identify With That Idea. So It’s Probably Just Like A Habit.

I'm Especially Interested In The Music Of John Cage... I Would Like To Do Some Experimenting With The Relationship Between His Freeform Sound And Free-form Art.

I Decided That If My Work Contained What I Could Identify As A Likeness To Other Work, I Would Remove It.

There May Or May Not Be An Idea, And The Meaning May Just Be That The Painting Exists.
