To Be An Artist You Have To

Working Is Very Important To Me. Probably Because As A Child I Was Taught That Work Was Good. I Don’t Believe It Intellectually But I Identify With That Idea. So It’s Probably Just Like A Habit.

Early On I Was Very Involved With The Notion Of The Painting As An Object And Tended To Attack That Idea From Different Directions.

To Do A Drawing For A Painting Most Often Means Doing Something Very Sketchy And Schematic And Then Later Making It Polished.

When You Work You Learn Something About What You Are Doing And You Develop Habits And Procedures Out Of What You're Doing.

I Would Tend To Say That I Do What I Do As Well As Possible And That Most People Don't.
