That's What I Mean By Something Grips

I'm Not Interested In Painting; I'm Not Interested In Making A Picture. Then What The Hell Am I Interested In? I Must Be Interested In This Process.

Look At Any Inspired Painting. It's Like A Gong Sounding; It Puts You In A State Of Reverberation.

When I See People Making 'abstract' Painting, I Think It's Just A Dialogue And A Dialogue Isn't Enough. That Is To Say, There Is You Painting And This Canvas. I Think There Has To Be A Third Thing; It Has To Be A Trialogue.

I Feel More As If I'm Shaping Something With My Hands. I Feel As If I've Always Wanted To Get To That State. Like A Blind Man In A Dark Room Had Some Clay, What Would He Make? I End Up With 2 Or 3 Forms On A Canvas, But It Gets Very Physical For Me.

Studio Ghosts: When You're In The Studio Painting, There Are A Lot Of People In There With You - Your Teachers, Friends, Painters From History, Critics... And One By One If You're Really Painting, They Walk Out. And If You're Really Painting You Walk Out.
