"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"It was in the Domino paintings where I felt free to take green right out of a landscape context into any operation I cared to. Green became a very exciting kind of event for me. And to use green out of context felt quite fresh. I mean, what’s green? A tree, a grass, a leaf- but not in my work! So I’ve had that kind of a take- that 'Hey, this is a color that you don’t usually see in this context.' I love to work with twenty different colors of green."
