What you might consider a bad work can be of extreme interest to an artist in ways which are not about its being a good or bad.
My experience of life is that it's very fragmented; certain kinds of things happen, and in another place, a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences.
Everyone is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.
At first I had some idea that the absence of color made the work more physical. Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.
I wish there were more humor in my work than I see in it.
