There Was A Point In Time Where

There's A Magic That Comes From Playing Entirely To Who You Are. I've Got My Specialist Subject - In The Mastermind Sense - And I Wouldn't Change It, Or Who I Am.

There Was A Point In Time Where The Thought Of People Even Talking About Me Made Me Anxious. Physically.

Often I Think Changes Within My Work Have Been Seen As Sudden Changes Or Sharp Changes, But For Me They're Not That Sudden. They Have Been There In The Studio, But Not So Much In Public.

The Studio Is A Laboratory, Not A Factory. An Exhibition Is The Result Of Your Experiments, But The Process Is Never-ending. So An Exhibition Is Not A Conclusion.

When I Was Painting In Art School - And I Think Many Painters In The 1980s Worked Similarly - A Finished Painting Would Often Be Constructed From Lots Of Other Paintings Underneath. Some Of These Individual Layers Of Painting Were Better Than Others, But That Was Something That You Would Often Only Realise Retrospectively.
