20 White Paintings, 2003

I could work hours and hours with a palet knife and oil paint on canvas like butter till suddenly it was finished and had to stop immediately – or I missed that moment and had to go on. With more than one color this technique is impossible. One color (in this case white) and you can go on and on, forgetting the time. Instead that different colors mix to the color of dishwater. All extra and unnecessary worries. The paintings were most beautiful when they were still wet, the special shine that I still see before me. But it was actually about the process, which I was apparently looking for, than the end result, didn’t really have any plans for it either.
