On light
Light has always been important to my work.
Early on I worked with the light of the southwest, which is harsh and flattening. Shadows are crisp and hard and the light pervasive. It is a light that holds nothing back. Over the years I have become interested in a different kind of light, one with more depth and subtler opacities and transparencies.
On audience
The experience of a work of art really is an act of possession. A painter wants the viewer to internalize that painting, wants him to possess it, if not to physically live it.
That's where the union between the artist and the audience occurs.
