“6 DEC: ... MY INTENTION IS POLITICAL IN NATURE. MY ART IS NOT AN ART FOR ART’S SAKE.
19 DEC: THE PAINTING MUST PRESERVE BOTH ITS PICTORIAL CONTENT AND ITS OBJECTNESS...
29 DEC: WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
1 JAN 88: WE MUST FIGHT WITH THE SPIRIT.
12 JAN 88: THERE ARE NO ANSWERS, SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS.
18 JAN 88: REALITY AS WE KNOW IT TO BE HAS ANOTHER SIDE.
24 JAN 88: LIGHT IS MY GUIDE.”
