Most Of Us Have To Be Transplanted

I've Taught, And The First Thing I Did When I Taught Art, Was Not To Teach Art.

Who Is An Artist? I Say We Take A Title. No One Gives It To Us. We Make Our Lives.

I Never Liked The Middle Ground-the Most Boring Place In The World.

I'm A Work Horse. I Like To Work. I Always Did. I Think That There Is Such A Thing As Energy, Creation Overflowing. And I Always Felt That I Have This Great Energy And It Was Bound To Sort Of Burst At The Seams, So That My Work Automatically Took Its Place With A Mind Like Mine. I've Never Had A Day When I Didn't Want To Work. I've Never Had A Day Like That. And I Knew That A Day I Took Away From The Work Did Not Make Me Too Happy. I Just Feel That I'm In Tune With The Right Vibrations In The Universe When I'm In The Process Of Working. ... In My Studio I'm As Happy As A Cow In Her Stall.

But When I Fell In Love With Black, It Contained All Color. It Wasn’t A Negation Of Color. It Was An Acceptance. Because Black Encompasses All Colors. Black Is The Most Aristocratic Color Of All.... You Can Be Quiet And It Contains The Whole Thing.
