Earlier Paintings
“Since 1980 I have noticed a development.  From a fairly dense gestural surface, the canvas has opened up with areas of light and space, contrasted to areas of more activity, darkness, definition.  Rather than density, claustrophobia, I want to give a sense of fluidity, movement. 
I am concerned with the edges of the canvas.  I like the feeling that the painting does not end at the edges but continues beyond the frame.”
