„These looping lines, drawn or painted, are not pre-planned, and have no origin outside of themselves. They do not depict the world, and their prime subject is not the history of painting. The starting point is not a window on to the world, but a monochrome canvas. They open out from, and back to, nothing, but in the meantime they exhibit the potential to touch anything. Similarly, the home key of the palette is neither a heavenly white nor a set of primaries, but a mid-grey, and seems to be mixed outwards from there. Brightness and clarity emerge from the murk, approaching an ice-cream impurity.”
