Painting allows me to live a contemplative solitary life. The construction of each image is a tortuous, overlong inquiry which requires my complete presence. Infinite postulations, mostly unsuccessful potshots, final congeal. I begin with a pile of photos and drawings, a nebulous notion and faithfully, stroke by stroke, row towards land. As Lao Tse said, "I have just three things to teach, simplicity, patience and compassion, these are the greatest treasures." |
