I have tried to draw the human effigy (and all the other subjects dealt with in my paintings) in an immediate and effective way without any reference….

Being dead is the most airtight defense of one's own aesthetic..

I'm kind of still down with Virg Woolf on this one: "women must kill the aesthetic ideal through which they themselves have been 'killed' into art.".

It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade..

My aesthetic is that of the sniper on the roof..

I am a person who holds the aesthetic high. I have suits made in Savile Row..
