Remembering Before

I do not think I have a burning desire to communicate. In fact I have always tried to step back from communication, as it relates to my art-making.

I have for a very long time suffered from this sense that what I am making is grossly inadequate. This feeling is deeply visceral. It is as though there were some ideal image I somehow know, but every effort to realize it falls short. "It" is tangible. Consequently, I have painted over and over paintings, I have crossed through drawings (and writing).
