I'm Poor White Trash From The State

I Build A Painting By Putting Little Marks Together-some Look Like Hot Dogs, Some Like Doughnuts.

At The Same Time That I'm Finding The Color World I Want, I'm Also Trying To Make The Imagery, You Know, By The Nature Of The Strokes Themselves.

The Camera Is Objective. When It Records A Face It Can't Make Any Hierarchical Decisions About A Nose Being More Important Than A Cheek. The Camera Is Not Aware Of What It Is Looking At. It Just Gets It All Down.

All The Best Ideas Come Out Of The Process; They Come Out Of The Work Itself.

I Can't Always Reach The Image In My Mind... Almost Never, In Fact... So That The Abstract Image I Create Is Not Quite There, But It Gets To The Point Where I Can Leave It.
