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.

For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces.

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.

I work with nature, although in completely new terms.
