I Think An Ashtray Is The Most

I Think An Ashtray Is The Most Fantastically Real Thing.

For Me, Art Is Always A Kind Of Theater. When I Started The Spot Paintings I Made Them As An Endless Series. But I Was Never Serious About It Being An Endless Series. It Was Just An Implied Endless Series. The Theater Means You Just Have To Make It Look Good For That Moment In The Spotlight.

In An Artwork You're Always Looking For Artistic Decisions, So An Ashtray Is Perfect. An Ashtray Has Got Life And Death.

When We Are No Longer Children, We Are Already Dead.

I'm 43. I'm Not Ready To Sit Down In A Chair With My Name On It Yet.
