My paintings come from what I think of as glimpses. They arrive in different ways: something seen, imagined, misremembered, misread, taken from a scene or a page. They are partial, fast, already receding. They cannot be held, and I don't try. I don't interrogate them or look for meaning in them. They are situations, but without provenance or outcome. I follow the ones that draw me on by intuition, by a sense of weight.

The painting is the fixed document of having chased the glimpse.
