In my earlier paintings, I wanted the space between the picture plane and the spectator to be active.

There was a time when meanings were focused and reality could be fixed; when that sort of belief disappeared, things became uncertain and open to interpretation.

Painters have always needed a sort of veil upon which they can focus their attention. It's as though the more fully the consciousness is absorbed, the greater the freedom of the spirit behind.

I think this lack of a center has something to do with the loss of certainties that Christianity had to offer.

I used to build up to sensation, accumulating tension until it released a perceptual experience.

As the artist picks his way along, rejecting and accepting as he goes, certain patterns of enquiry emerge.

I work with nature, although in completely new terms.

An artist's early work is inevitably made up of a mixture of tendencies and interests, some of which are compatible and some of which are in conflict.
