I
Just as
everything we see with our eyes has a description, we may also look
closely at the living objects of the world and experience an endless
fascination, and finally a mystery, with no description possible.
This is
what the painted surface is - a describable image which also has this
same depth, made from the same substance.
II
My methods
of working involve a process of creating uncertainty in the behavior
of the materials. While my intention is known to me, I nevertheless
rely on only the simplest of ideas to begin, and then watch as the picture
unfolds, making and destroying and remaking the image as I work.
III
Memory,
fragmented and incomplete, is a large motivation for what I do. I paint
to evoke the sense of distance - not space, but time. The traditional
subjects of landscape, the figure, and the things of the world are rightly
used to this end - the very things that are always with us, and always
have been.
