'When I make a painting, I respond to a set of parameters, like a visual algorithm. These structuring devices are subject to the fallibility of my hand, and my minds ability to complete the work as planned.'
(R. Hobbs, James Siena: 1991-2001, Gorney Bravin + Lee, New York; Daniel Weinberg Gallery, Los Angeles, 2001, p. 8.)
