"I love the trick of painting. You can have
the movement within the still thing, but it is
completely fixed. And that illusion is constantly exciting." - Cecily Brown

"My process is really quite organic and starting a painting is one of the best parts for me. I always start in quite a loose and free way. I often put down one ground colour to begin with and then play off that. For the first day or two, everything moves very quickly - sometimes almost too quickly - then there's often this very protracted middle period of moving things around, changing things, editing." |
