I Tend To Like Things

I Decided That If My Work Contained What I Could Identify As A Likeness To Other Work, I Would Remove It.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.

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.

One Works Without Thinking How To Work.

The Thing Is, If You Believe In The Unconscious - And I Do - There's Room For All Kinds Of Possibilities That I Don't Know How You Prove One Way Or Another.
