and juxtaposition of paint surface.

important insofar as they can be deduced from a specific painting.

3. I employ a variety of techniques with no goal in mind and no end
in sight.

4. The paintings that interest me most have irreducible structures
that are arbitrary and complex.

5. My work forces no images. The arrival of the image, however, is
unavoidable.

6. Whatever is unadvoidable is also an end.

7. Work takes place within the physical and mental limits of my
humanity.

8. Painting's time, limitations and doubt make it appear outdated
