My Concern Is With The Rhythms Of

Well, Method Is, It Seems To Me, A Natural Growth Out Of A Need, And From A Need The Modern Artist Has Found New Ways Of Expressing The World About Him. I Happen To Find Ways That Are Different From The Usual Techniques, Which Seems A Little Strange At The Moment, But I Don't Think There's Anything Very Different About It. I Paint On The Floor And This Isn't Unusual - The Orientals Did That.

I Don't Work From Drawings And Colour Sketches Into A Final Painting. Painting, I Think, Today - The More Immediate, The More Direct - The Greater The Possibilities Of Making A Direct - Of Making A Statement.

Abstract Painting Is Abstract. It Confronts You. There Was A Reviewer A While Back Who Wrote That My Pictures Didn't Have Any Beginning Or Any End. He Didn't Mean It As A Compliment, But It Was.

I Can Control The Flow Of Paint: There Is No Accident.

I Have No Fear Of Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc., Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own.
