I Hope I Have Made It Clear That The Work Is About Perfection As We Are Aware Of It In Our Minds But That The Paintings Are Very Far From Being Perfect - Completely Removed In Fact - Even As We Ourselves Are.

Perfect

Mind

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That We All Have The Same Experience And The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly. Once He Sees This Fact His Feet Are On The Path. If You Want To Know The Truth You Will Know It. The Manipulation Of Materials In An Artwork Is A Result Of This State Of Mind. The Artist Works By Awareness Of His Own State Of Mind.
