I’ve been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge.[/b]

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we’re living in.
Rather abstract. But that’s probably the point.
My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.
In other words, not stopping at the frame.
People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.
Some will hear this louder than others.
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
That is one way to look at it.
He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.
For better or worse as it were.
