My work is not about fooling the eye but about questioning the nature of painting and thereby the nature of levels of reality. The only element which is true to itself is the paint when it is applied as a covering on a flat field. You see this painting; it looks incomplete. I have deliberately painted that state of incompletion, so that it is finished. I am interested in my own evaluation of finality. Finality or finished is an idea, a question which seems to continue, a point when the elements have a lively relationship. Presently, a primary issue for me is the dichotomy between spontaneity and calculation. The work should appear free, when in fact in order to recap that quality there is a very complex process I must sustain. It is further complicated by making the process the content.
