"I begin with an idea, but as I work, the picture takes over. Then there is the struggle between the idea I preconceived... and the picture that fights for its own life." - Georg Baselitz
The idea that during the creation of an artwork, the artwork itself begins to dictate what kind of image should be formed is something that I found resonates with my own practice. It's this struggle with the materials on the surface of the canvas that holds my interest, battling what the picture wants with your own intentions.
