+ De
Kooning is my main man, really, because
he just did everything you can do with paint. He
reversed it, dripped it, scraped it. But I want
to hold on to a certain amount of reality.
+ I like working. My friends get pissed off. I cancel
dinner dates and all that kind of stuff because
I like being in my studio.
+ I do hope I play out the contradictions that I
feel, all the anxieties and dilemmas. If they're
there in the work, then that's brilliant.
+ I get to a point when I can't look at any other
contemporary art.. Because if I look at anything
else, it gives me other options.. I think I can't
have any other options because this is it, this
is where I'm at.
+ I like making work in my studio day in and day
out, but I'm not so interested in the business side.
+ I want people to know what it is they're looking
at. But at the same time, the closer they get to
the painting, it's like going back into childhood.
And it's like an abstract piece.. it becomes the
landscape of the brush marks rather than just sort
of an intellectual landscape.
