I was always a colorist. I've always had a phenomenal love of color. . . . I mean, I but move color around on its own. And then that's where the Spot paintings came from—to create that structure to do those colors, and practise nothing. I suddenly got what I wanted. It was merely a way of pinning downwardly the joy of colour.
