Conceptual artist. painter and art professor.

[observation, at 82] I tend to work in a series. That is, I just don't do one show. I just start working and keep working until I've said everything I have to say about that topic. I would go crazy if I quit. I think I told somebody that I would slit my wrists if I couldn't do art. It's what I do. It's my life.
