Quote by Clayton F. Merrell, Artist's Sta

Behind every painting is a secret and inexplicable desire. Behind mine is this:I want to make a painting that can tear a person in two. I want to make a painting that can make a person who has been torn in two whole again. I want them to be the same painting.
