People ask me, 'What happened in your life that might have pushed you as an artist to get to where you are today?' I always felt a little on the outside. And as such, you're always observing things. So, I'd be kind of re-creating these things in my mind, and I think drawing it was a way to deal with that.

Actually, yeah, I am an artist. I draw.

When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.

I always felt that a painted edge between two colors was a depiction somehow.

Look at any inspired painting. It's like a gong sounding; it puts you in a state of reverberation.

At first I had some idea that the absence of color made the work more physical. Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.

My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way.
