Moving around an imaginary space where the walls are filled with my large paintings is a delight.
I do believe there is a centrality of interaction between my paintings and my mind.
They make into reality the patterns of my nervous system. I paint what I feel.
And in doing so the viewer feels those same feelings in their nervous system.
“Beauty can be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane; it can be exhilarating, appealing, inspiring, chilling. It can affect us in an unlimited variety of ways. Yet it is never viewed with indifference: beauty demands to be noticed; it speaks to us directly like the voice of an intimate friend. If there are people who are indifferent to beauty, then it is surely because they do not perceive it.”
