“I don’t work from drawings or color sketches. My painting is direct. I usually paint on the floor. I enjoy working on a large canvass. I feel more at home, more at ease in a big area. Having the canvass on the floor, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting. This way I can walk around it, work from all fours sides and be in the painting. Similar to the Indian sand paintings of the West.
Sometimes I use a a brush, but often prefer using a stick. Sometimes I pour the paint straight, right out of the can. I like to use a dripping, fluid paint. I also use sand, broken glass, pebbles, string. A method of painting is a natural growth, out of a need.
I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them.
Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of the paint, There is no accident, just as there is no beginning and no end….a painting has a life of its own, I let it live.”
