I'm Very Careful Not To Have Ideas,

The Minimalists Are Idealist. They Want To Minimise Themselves In Favour Of The Ideal. But I Just Can't. You See, My Paintings Are Not Cool. ... I'm Very Careful Not To Have Ideas, Because They're Inaccurate.

It Is Commonly Thought That Everything That Is Can Be Put Into Words.

There's Nobody Living Who Couldn't Stand All Afternoon In Front Of A Waterfall .... Anyone Who Can Sit On A Stone In A Field Awhile Can See My Painting. Nature Is Like Parting A Curtain, You Go Into It .... As You Would Cross An Empty Beach To Look At The Ocean.

I Paint With My Back To The World

I Would Like My Work To Be Recognized As Being In The Classical Tradition (coptic, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese), As Representing The Ideal In The Mind. Classical Art Cannot Possibly Be Eclectic. One Must See The Ideal In One's Own Mind. It Is Like A Memory - An Awareness -of Perfection.
