I Often Find That Having An Idea

I'm Especially Interested In The Music Of John Cage... I Would Like To Do Some Experimenting With The Relationship Between His Freeform Sound And Free-form Art.

There Was Very Little Art In My Childhood. I Was Raised In South Carolina; I Wasn't Aware Of Any Art In South Carolina. There Was A Minor Museum In Charleston, Which Had Nothing Of Interest In It. It Showed Local Artists, Paintings Of Birds.

My Work Is Largely Concerned With Relations Between Seeing And Knowing, Seeing And Saying, Seeing And Believing.

I Don't Want My Work To Be An Exposure Of My Feelings.

I Think That One Wants From A Painting A Sense Of Life. The Final Suggestion, The Final Statement, Has To Be Not A Deliberate Statement But A Helpless Statement. It Has To Be What You Can't Avoid Saying.
