about

Colour to me is too real. It's limiting. It doesn't allow much of a dream. The more you throw black into a colour, the more dreamy it gets. I could try one tube of cadmium yellow to 500 tubes of black. That could be one way to use it.

Black has depth. It's like a little egress; you can go into it, and because it keeps on continuing to be dark, the mind kicks in, and a lot of things that are going on in there become manifest. And you start seeing what you're afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream.

My paintings have a fearful mood, but there's humour in them too. But ultimately, I guess the central idea is, you know, life in darkness and confusion - and I'm certainly there: lost in darkness and confusion.

You know what dogs are like in a room? They really look like they're having fun. They're bouncing this ball around and chewing on stuff and they're kind of panting and happy. Human beings are supposed to be like that. We should be pretty happy. And I don't know why we aren't.

The darkness and confusion does go away. And it will go away for everyone. I really believe this isn't the way it's going to be for ever. I don't know why it's necessary that we get lost in this darkness and confusion, but part of it is really enjoyable. But then, if you get sick or you get tortured, or shot, it's not enjoyable. Or your heart gets broken, or your house catches fire.

Paintings are things that you control. To take an idea and translate it into something material is a beautiful process. It's thrilling to the soul! Who knows why? And that, to me, is the best thing you can be doing.
