I never thought it was Dada in that sense, though I thought it might look Dada.

RL: It's examining it, getting closer to it. It is like some of my later brushstroke apples. I am doing works now that incorporate prints of enlarged brushstrokes, fake brushstrokes, plus real brushstrokes.
LA: What's what I mean about iconography. You go in for doubletakes in your inconography no less than your form.
