Painting has the capacity for being created and destroyed, the properties for which, exist both potentially and actually but not at the same time or in the same respect. The first actuality for an Artist is potentiality, the 2nd is actuality and sustaining the moment infinitely. Whilst I build a body of work I am creating pictures, therefore it is not my objective to destroy them, even though the odd one here and there ruins. However I am aware that this process could eventually lead to destruction because the two are connected, but whilst I am in the process of creativity, the opposite doesn't apply even though it is apparent. Basically there are definite goals which are the result of hard work and we put equal amounts of energy into destroying and acheiving them. When the two are mixed the process is counteractive but still important in producing a genuine work of art. It's the paintings that go wrong that are more interesting or the ones that are full of mistakes, discrepancies and accidents.
