I don't really have studios. I wander around around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me."

R
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
A
"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape the loneliness of it the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it the whole story doesn't show."
N
"I think anything like that which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone people always feel is sad. Is it because we've lost the art of being alone?"
K
"When you show it to someone, if they like it, you're stopped, and if they dislike it you're stopped either way."
