I Think, If One Is A Painter,

I Am Never Free Of The Past. I Have Made It Crystal Clear That I Believe The Past Is Part Of The Present Which Becomes Part Of The Future.

I Have Never Been Able To Understand The Artist Whose Image Never Changes.

As I Say, I As An Abstract Artist Was Active Politically.

We Get Used To A Certain Kind Of Colour Of Form Or Format, And It's Acceptable. And To Puncture That Is Sticking Your Neck Out A Bit. And Then Pretty Soon, That's Very Acceptable.

I Went Into My Own Black-out Period Which Lasted Two Or Three Years Where The Canvases Would Simply Build Up Until They'd Get Like Stone And It Was Always Just A Gray Mess. The Image Wouldn't Emerge, But I Worked Pretty Regularly. I Was Fighting To Find I Knew Not What, But I Could No Longer Stay With What I Had.
