COMMENTS
No Sun was a reference to my own feeling at the time, because I was deeply troubled by what was happening around me, and I was trying to pick up some exuberance. I felt I could do that if only I could break out of the constraints of field and detail. I was adding a more expressionist element, although still clinging to what I always tried to do—make something believable. There had to be an organic trace to something that was not emotional.”
