I Suppose I Would Still Prefer To

But When I Worked On A Painting I Would Do It From A Drawing But I Would Put Certain Things I Was Fairly Sure I Wanted In The Painting, And Then Collage On The Painting With Printed Dots Or Painted Paper Or Something Before I Really Committed It.

Personally, I Feel That In My Own Work I Wanted To Look Programmed Or Impersonal But I Don't Really Believe I Am Being Impersonal When I Do It. And I Don't Think You Could Do This.

I Was At Rutgers University, And That Was A Center For Fluxus In A Way. But It Wasn't What I Was Interested In. All Of It Had An Impact - As Did Happenings - Because I Could See That Art Was Changing From Expressionism, Which I Was Doing At The Time, Or Thought I Was Doing. But It Wasn't The Direction I Really Wanted To Go.

Color Is Crucial In Painting, But It Is Very Hard To Talk About.
