+ I sit for two or three hours and then in 15
minutes I can do a painting, but that's part of
it. You have to get ready and decide to jump up
and do it; you build yourself up psychologically,
and so painting has no time for brush.
Brush is boring, you give it and all of a sudden
it's dry, you have to go. Before you cut the thought,
you know?
+ My line is childlike but not childish. It is
very difficult to fake.. to get that quality you
need to project yourself into the child's line.
It has to be felt.
+ I work in waves, because I'm impatient. Because
of a certain physicality, of lack of breath from
standing. It has to be done and I do take liberties
I wouldn't have taken before.
+ Graffiti is linear and it's done with a pencil,
and it's like writing on walls. But in my paintings
it's more lyrical.
+ When I work, I work very fast, but preparing
to work can take any length of time.
+ Paint is something that I use with my hands
and do all those tactile things. I really don't
like oil because you can't get back into it, or
you make a mess. It's not my favourite thing..
pencil is more my medium than wet paint.
