"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It’s about these other things that you don’t say."

"I’m not trying to make these paintings to understand my time in the same way that I was five years ago. I’m not trying to make a painting that makes sense at the moment. That will happen through the work whether the piece feels like it was made for the moment or not."
