Sometimes, I am holding a brush, or pen, loaded with Indian Ink, and a blob drops onto a virgin surface. Well, I have to get going then, so I slosh about without thinking … Some of my most interesting and enigmatic drawings are the result of a sudden lunge into the white abyss. No one can foretell what is going to happen and there are no mistakes in Art. A mistake is an opportunity to do something else. What a fun way to go on!
