What I can't tell with a photo I will tell with a painting, and what I can't tell with a painting I will tell with a video or text sometimes, et cetera.

I seldom have my stuff up unless I'm testing it. If I'm worrying about a painting, I put it up and see if I detest it quickly or slowly. Otherwise I have things by other artists.

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

Usually I am on a work for a long stretch, until a moment arrives when the air of the arbitrary vanishes, and the paint falls into positions that feel destined.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

When I finish a painting, it usually looks as surprising to me as to anyone else.

When things become peculiar, frustrating and strange, I think it's a good time to start painting.
