I want my images to go beyond the limitation of the subject – to speak of ideas contained somewhere between the image, the formal structure, the material and the qualities of the mark. But I am of course always deeply involved in the subject: - the kind of space; the quality of light; above all the figure. I love the figure and in a sense know every figure I make. I may at times draw or paint a figure I feel no sympathy for – who I may regard as representing evil, but far more often I am driven by a love of people and a very deep sympathy for poor suffering humanity.
