...in 1989, I made my long-held dream a reality.
I used all the colours I had to hand, including black, for the ritual of action painting. …
Colour is an instance of the clearest level of alertness, the most intense level of existence.
You rarely dream in colour. COLOUR IS EXISTENCE, MOVEMENT, LIGHT.
The power of all the innumerable SUNS unfolding, their atoms splitting.
Colour is the most wonderful surplus, abundance of nature, the innermost, deepest EXISTENCE and greatest MOMENT of perpetual creation and renewal, perpetual birth and RESURRECTION. Colour is the opposite of the night of
NOTHINGNESS. Colour is the wonderful, radiant, laughing event of being, all the senses perceive colour, EXISTENCE, through the eye’s taste.
