I Often Find That Having An Idea

Early On I Was Very Involved With The Notion Of The Painting As An Object And Tended To Attack That Idea From Different Directions.

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.
