Whatever I Do Seems Artificial And False,

In The Place Where I Was A Child, There Were No Artists And There Was No Art, So I Really Didn't Know What That Meant. I Think I Thought It Meant That I Would Be In A Situation Different Than The One That I Was In.

One Works Without Thinking How To Work.

Object In/ And Space - The First Impulse May Be To Give The Object - A Position - To Place The Object. (the Object Had A Position To Begin With.) Next - To Change The Position Of The Object. - Rauschenberg's Early Sculptures - A Board With Some Rocks On It. The Rocks Can Be Anywhere On The Board. - Cage's Japanese Rock Garden - The Rocks Can Be Anywhere (within The Garden).

I’m Interested In Things Which Suggest The World Rather Than Express The Personality... The Most Conventional Thing, The Most Ordinary - It Seems To Me That Those Things Can Be Dealt With Without Having To Judge Them; They Seem To Me To Exist As Clear Facts, Not Involving Aesthetic Hierarchy.

There May Or May Not Be An Idea, And The Meaning May Just Be That The Painting Exists.
