The artist…is the point at which the growth of the mind shows itself.
I.A. Richards

I really do feel I don't have anything to say as an artist. I don't want to have anything to say. I feel that process in the studio that reveals a content is the only process that matters. I want the process somehow to reveal to me, and I hope in revealing to me will reveal to you.
Anish Kapoor

The nature of painting is to redeem an undercurrent of sadness. That's what every painting is about.
Francesco Clemente

I wonder if and how making art can be a source of reconciliation and understanding, and whether the creative process can engage me to mitigate, and perhaps even tolerate an increasingly violent existence.
