The part about making a painting that is amazing to me is that I can do it at all, that I can look at something in nature, dream something, or erupt with a spark of an idea and with a brush that has been dipped in colour make a blotch that kind of looks like what I saw. The same thing in sculpture, only a little removed in time: scrape, scrape, bang, boom and there it is, an object somewhat like I thought of. With these things I can even imagine something and make a kind of image of a new place or thing. I can even teach this. It is pretty amazing and makes creative work all worthwhile. Basically, the whole world is an imagined thing.
