Lot Essay

They're architectonic...in the sense of building – of making buildings. My whole way of thinking about painting has a lot to do with building... I enjoy and find it more fruitful to think about many organizational or spatial concepts in architectural terms because when you think about them strictly in design terms they become flat and very boring problems.
