Statement:

I have come to believe that painting and the need for it expresses nothing more
critical than the spiritual condition of its author. Nature provides the subject matter
for my work in a circuitous manner. The work is about my experience of an aspect
of nature and essentially: non-objective. However, if my creative urge has an
ultimate aim, it is precisely toward the non-objective. The pursuit of this goal
fosters a certain amount of satisfaction in failure. Falling short of a goal does not foreclose upon a certain measure of success where creative forces are seriously engaged.

Perhaps this condition best defines my hope of attaining ontological bedrock.
