The Listening #2 Painting

To me, paintings are not silent and music is not invisible, so painting is just as much about listening as it is about seeing. I’m doing something that I feel is still valid and viable, I’m making images that I’ve never seen before, paintings with a quiet intensity, both compelling and enduring, with an effect that is permanently instantaneous. I like images that baffle me, that make me feel compelled to look at them again and again, things capable of many reinterpretations. Within the working process I have a preference for open simplicity and spontaneity, and a will to try new things. This enables me to rehearse attitudes towards everything that matters in the rest of my life, everything I encounter in this vast, mysterious, crazy, world.
