Ìý"Listening to the radio while painting is a secret pleasure, a solitary vice in which the tumble of words unravels around Ìýthe fabric of my work. I paint dots and make constructions Ìýof sticks and find at the end of the day that a Greek Chorus has murmured its way into the paintings. Radio provides the background, a footprint of the real world and gives form and reason to the abstract. I can hear you all quite clearly as I mix and brush. Your voices are like the threads behind a tapestry. I look at the paintings and you’re all there."
