I have wanted to paint the desert and I haven’t known how....

So I bought home the bleached bones as my symbols of the desert.

To me they are as beautiful as anything I know.... The bones seem

to cut sharply to the centre of something that is keenly alive on

the desert even though it is vast and empty and untouchable -

and knows no kindness with all its beauty.

The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.

That is why so much of social life is exhausting; one

is wearing a mask.  I shed my mask.

Art to me was a state; it didn’t need to be an accomplishment.

It’s like driving a car at night.  You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
