Catalogue Note

“I think the best thing is having an idea and not knowing how to make it. Because of that, some new form might appear. Whether it’s good, bad, banal, or fantastic, you can reflect on that and go further. Once I’ve finished a painting, I can see where other imagery might go. I’ll be about to change it, and then I’ll think, No, I’m going to go on to the next painting.”
