When I Met Steve Kaufman,

My Use Of Evenly Repeated Dots And Diagonal Lines And Uninflected Color Areas Suggest That My Work Is Right Where It Is, Right On The Canvas, Definitely Not A Window Into The World.

Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes. I Kind Of Do The Drawing With The Painting In Mind, But It's Very Hard To Guess At A Size Or A Color And The Colors Around It And What It Will Really Look Like. It's Only A Guess At The Beginning, And Then I Try To Refine It.

I'd Always Wanted To Know The Difference Between A Mark That Was Art And One That Wasn't.

I Don't Think That I'm Over His Influence But They Probably Don't Look Like Picassos; Picasso Himself Would Probably Have Thrown Up Looking At My Pictures.

Yes, You Know Sometimes, We Started Out Thinking Out How Strange Our Painting Was Next To Normal Painting, Which Was Anything Expressionist. You Forget That This Has Been Thirty Five Years Now And People Don't Look At It As If It Were Some Kind Of Oddity.
