I Use The Gallery As

I Use The Gallery As If It Were A Doctor. I Come For Ideas And Help - To Look At Situations Within Painting, Rather Than Paintings.

The Longer You Look At An Object, The More Abstract It Becomes, And, Ironically, The More Real.

I Have A Hatred Of Habit And Routine. And What Dogs Love Is Just That. They Like Regular Everything, And I Don't Have Regular Anything. I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

I Don't Want Any Colour To Be Noticeable... I Don't Want It To Operate In The Modernist Sense As Colour, Something Independent... Full, Saturated Colours Have An Emotional Significance I Want To Avoid.

Painting Is Sometimes Like Those Recipes Where You Do All Manner Of Elaborate Things To A Duck, And Then End Up Putting It On One Side And Only Using The Skin.
