+ We get used to a certain kind of color of form
or format, and it's acceptable. And to puncture
that is sticking your neck out a bit. And then
pretty soon, that's very acceptable.
+ I think, if one is a painter, all you experience
does come out when youre painting.
+ I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be
alive is the point. And, as the limitations are
something called pigment and canvas, let's see
if I can do it.
+ I like to surprise myself. I have to be interested
in what Im doing. Surprise, for me, is as
important as it is to anyone that views it once
it becomes a painting.
+ I never violate an inner rhythm. I loathe to
force anything.. I don't know if the inner rhythm
is Eastern or Western. I know it is essential
for me. I listen to it and I stay with it. I have
always been this way. I have regards for the inner
voice.

campus and experience life in the world of reality,
that's pretty depressing. There's a lot of what
I call campus art around now. And I think campus
art is fine while you're in school. But thats
your early stages of learning. If you're a pianist,

got to get on with it.
+ It would start with a color, a form, and it
begins dictating to me what's needed in terms
of color as well as form.
+ All my work keeps going like a pendulum.. it
seems to swing back to something I was involved
with earlier, or it moves between horizontality
and verticality, circularlity, or a composite
of them. For me, I suppose, that change is the
only constant.
