"My paintings and drawings are concerned with color and form and space, but they also project a concept of the human mind as being in a perpetual state of 'becoming' a la Henri Bergson," he said.

"Added to this is my belief that mature visual perception, if not all perception, has as a prerequisite a great deal of familiarlity with what is perceived.

"For example," he said, "I believe I know my wife from an almost instantaneous flow of moving assemblages of countless subconscious recollections I have of her. A single static image, while sometimes movingly beautiful, does not do justice to this view of human perception.

"Among all this, I am also an avid senser of those moments of emotional nakedness people's faces sometimes assume when they are unaware of being observed."

From the Valley News, September 15, 1979
