"Black is an abstraction, a difficult color. At the end of the color spectrum, it is also the end of all that is organic: mourning, humus, coal, soot, petroleum, pitch, the darkness of night in which all life perishes. Astonishingly, as a line, black can be joyful, buoyant, conducive to the everyday, descriptive, and executive. It was precisely the Mediterranean painters who loved it—Goya, Picasso, Soulages." —The artist in a note from 2006
