If
I try to define my work and why
I do it, I'd have to say painting
is about process and awareness
and compulsion. Step by step you
build a piece. As the work takes
shape your focus sharpens. Your
understanding or feeling about
the piece becomes clearer. Why
do people paint? What makes a
good painting? I think it's the
contact with the divine that we
occasionally get a glimpse of
and if we're lucky we convey in
our work. I personally feel compelled
to seek it, to touch it. I really
don't have any talent at this,
just desire to do it. Perhaps
desire is bad. The Buddhists think
so. Who knows? Some things just
can't be explained with words.
