Everything... has to be resolved through rhythms. You're constantly massaging each form, trying to get it home, pushing further and further until these all coalesce into a marvellous kind of rhythm that reveals the life of the painting.
The artist's role is to invent rhythms and forms to reveal a deeper apprehension of reality for the viewer.
I want the shuffles and echoes, and a certain mysteriousness... It's so bloody hard to paint.
