I don't have assistants and things in the studio.
- Complicated
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I make things complicated for myself and chaotic, so I feel unsettled, and then the challenge is to make something structured and complete emerge from that.

I work in response to the limitations of any situation and in relationship to what's possible.
- Grass
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a park, you are not working with studio materials or a flat piece of paper. You have grass and the people and the city and the daylight.
- Inside

- Nov 07, 2020
Pictures often sit inside of pictures, but the edges of pictures and objects are rarely subjected to serious challenge; we are presented with distinct, whole pictures and objects.

- Nov 07, 2020
I am more interested in asking questions about the edges of things and thoughts. So the objects I use are not initially the subjects of the work; they are its ground.
- Edge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Focused attention necessarily has an edge, but as focus changes, the edge shifts.
- Color
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The very formal, beautiful, composed order that I make with paint and color is freighted with objects, but like leaves falling from a tree onto a lawnmower below, the edges of this 'thing' have a certain serendipity.
- Effort
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Looking at younger artists, like Varda Caivano and Kerstin Bratsch, I see that their work has something in common that is new to my generation.

- Essential Part
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Handmade things tend to be so expensive that only a small part of the population can afford them. And yet making things with hands is such an essential part of being human.
- Buildings
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My idea is to fill an intersection with color. That will include the road and the sidewalk and up the building, so there's a cubic volume of color in the intersection wedged between four corners and four buildings.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It doesn't matter what I use. It can be anything. What's interesting is how what I'm doing meets with the stuff I use.
- Kids
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think what kids do is play.
- Embodies
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My work participates in that really quick and easy and inexpensive material that's part of our culture. In that way, my work engages the means of production that we live with, even while it's classical and embodies some things from a very long time ago.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Things have character. So I'm interested in how the character of the thing might function as a protagonist in what isn't a narrative.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't fetishize objects.
- Paint
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Paint is the skin of a painting: it is fiction. In houses, it disguises the plumbing and wiring and studs and nails.
