All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.

When i am in a painting, i'm not aware of what i'm doing. it is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that i see what i have been about. i have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. i try to let it come through. it is only when i lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
