“That's what I feel so often in painting. I mean I know exactly what I want to do, but I can't find the way in which this thing can be made. I want a deeply ordered image, you see, but I want it to come about by chance. You can always hope that the paint will do more for you, but mostly it's like painting a wall when the very first brushstroke you do gives a sudden shock of reality that is cancelled out as you paint the whole surface.”
