I Don't Start With A

I Wanted Things That I Couldn't At Times Articulate.

There Are No Rules. That Is How Art Is Born, How Breakthroughs Happen. Go Against The Rules Or Ignore The Rules. That Is What Invention Is About.

I Have Always Been Concerned With Painting That Simultaneously Insists On A Flat Surface And Then Denies It.

What Has Made It Work, Or What Makes Certain Paintings Successful Or Not, Has To Do With My Being A Painter And A Thinking, Feeling Person, More Than My Sex, Color, Height, Origin.

Art Has A Will Of Its Own. It Has Nothing To Do With The Taste Of The Moment Or What's Expected Of You. That's A Formula For Dead Art, Or Fashionable Art.
