I Don't Want My Work To Be

Sometimes I See It And Then Paint It. Other Times I Paint It And Then See It. Both Are Impure Situations, And I Prefer Neither. At Every Point In Nature There Is Something To See. My Work Contains Similar Possibilities For The Changing Focus Of The Eye.

I Assumed That Everything Would Lead To Complete Failure, But I Decided That Didn't Matter – That Would Be My Life.

One's Range [of Ideas] Is Limited By One's Interests And Imagination And By One's Passion.

Early On I Was Very Involved With The Notion Of The Painting As An Object And Tended To Attack That Idea From Different Directions.

That’s What Painting Does; It Organizes Vision In A Certain Way Or Suggests That Certain Things Be Paid Attention To And Certain Other Things Not Be Paid Attention To. It Functions In That Way To A Certain Extent In Our Civilization.
