I was at rutgers university, and that was a center for fluxus in a way. but it wasn't what i was interested in. all of it had an impact - as did happenings - because i could see that art was changing from expressionism, which i was doing at the time, or thought i was doing. but it wasn't the direction i really wanted to go.

Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. there is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.

When i met steve kaufman, i thought he was gene simmons, but what an artist talent he is. he will be an art force in the art world to deal with.
Personally, i feel that in my own work i wanted to look programmed or impersonal but i don't really believe i am being impersonal when i do it. and i don't think you could do this.
I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it's very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like.
We're not living in a school-of-paris world, you know, and the things we really see in america are like this. it's mcdonald's, it's not le corbusier.
