1.
Each painting a lifetime
2.
I have no idea. I work from no idea. I come from traditions
of no idea.
3.
The colors choose me. The narratives choose me. The paintings
choose me.
4.
Y el Corazon es mi amor. {The underbrush is on fire again.)
5.
I put stones in circles. I put flowers near doors. I kiss
the dead. The dead kiss me.
6.
Painting as digestion, a way to eat through Iife. No painting,
no digestion. No digestion, no life!
7. Using the wrong tools can be so important.
8.
Better a dulled brush that a sharp mind. (Apologies to Marcel
Duchamp... get over him folks.)
9.
Sidestepping the movement of Time thru Calling.
10.
No way around it: North = colder winters, steadier hands,
longer songs; South = hotter summers, smarter feet, canciones
calientes.
11.
It's about post post-modernism: time for bone dancing, my
friends...
Hay
muy pocos angeles que canten,
Hay muy pocos perros que ladren,
Mil vilones caben en la palma mi mano.
There
are very few angels that sing,
There are very few dogs that bark,
A thousand violins fit into the palm of my hand. Federico
Garcia Lorca
