"Meine Gemälde sind ein Panorama der linearen Zeit; sie erinnern uns daran, dass wir klein und vorhersehbar sind und unaufhörlich schöne Zeugnisse der Erde und ihrer Elemente schaffen und hergeben. Nach ihrer Fertigstellung sind sie visuelle Tagebücher, die von Widersprüchen sprechen, von einer Latenz, die durch unterbrochene Aktivität hervorgerufen wird."
