Lot Essay

'It's like, you talk to all these people and you have different relationships: with your friend, or the guy in the subway, or this person or that person. Each relationship has rules and levels of comfort or trust or intimacy. So, my paintings end up being like that. How do you treat this one? How do you deal with that one? How do these relationships all coexist? How does it all come together and inform who you are as a person?' RICHARD ALDRICH
