“I try to treat each painting as its own little world… There’s a starting point—an array of images or just one in particular—and a blank canvas, which I fill in frenetically so that some sort of conversation can begin right away. I try to ride the painting’s “Big Bang” moment so that things fall into place. Some debris is good, as long as it doesn’t hinder the painting’s momentum. My arm starts to hurt around this point.”

“As suburban children we floated at night in swimming pools the temperature of blood; pools the color of Earth as seen from outer space. We would float and be naked—pretending to be embryos, pretending to be fetuses—all of us silent save for the hum of the pool filter. Our minds would be blank and our eyes closed as we floated in warm waters, the distinction between our bodies and our brains reduced to nothing—bathed in chlorine and lit by pure blue lights installed underneath diving boards. Sometimes we would join hands and form a ring like astronauts in space; sometimes when we felt more isolated in our fetal stupor we would bump into each other in the deep end, like twins with whom we didn’t even know we shared a womb. ”
― Douglas Coupland, Life After God
