"Time and thinking rise up through the paint layers, whatever it is, it’s beautiful, whether literally or not. This is a Sean thing; thought, time, change, decision, revision, something over top something else, obliteration, repetition, resurrection. It’s also a painting thing. In general, it’s what is real about it, what the hand and mind and eye are doing from start to finish, the evidence of that. To witness yourself thinking and doing and being. For others to witness you thinking and doing and being."

(from "Artists talking (around) painting", a conversation between TR Ericsson and Sean Crossley, 2019)
