Making Things Right

Later yet, I began to feel that what I was really up to in painting, what I enjoyed almost exclusively, was altering - changing what was before me - by way of subtraction or juxtaposition or superimposition of different ideas. I should admit to a modicum of guilt in this instance too in that I felt that what was becoming my painting process was a wholesale proposition and that my initial intent, as well as intent in process was reduced to simply making things right - to as vague a goal as realization.
