Sometimes the painting starts to relate very directly to either sights seen or experiences felt, other times it just goes off on a tangent that you really can’t articulate.
The anxiety and sometimes distorted way of seeing things I would guess comes from my wanting to impose my energy on the place. We live a fairly isolated life here.. I look for the weird to liven things up. Sometimes I probably make it more weird than it is.
Some of the pictures are truly mysterious to me.. which is why I so often say publicly that I don’t know or don’t care what they’re really about. And yet I can also say that the paintings are prayers.. that they have to do with whatever it is that makes you want more than what daily life affords.
