"I paint in layers and the edges are complex and indeterminate. That gives my pictures a real reference to time and work: a real person carried them out, investing real time and doing real work [.]. I use stripes and ribbons and lines and checkerboard patterns to create rhythm. I want to constantly create new combinations, figures and connections that are like the rhythm of the music of life [.]. "
Sean Scully, 1996, quote from: Kirsten Claudia Voigt (editors), Inner. Gesammelte Schriften und ausgewählte Interviews von Sean Scully, Berlin 2018, p. 54.
