"While sandpapering a small canvas prior to working on it the 'ghost' of the stretcher came through, and I started to paint frames on the canvases. These paintings work for me on two levels: the relation of the inner rectangle to the surrounding frame, and the image contained in the inner rectangle. These images were often very slight, in some of the last paintings the inner rectangle was empty."

"More Than Nothing", Curated by Alain D'Hooghe

.

"At Peter's suggestion, the exhibition was entitled "More Than Nothing".

We decided to dedicate it to the collaborations between Peter and Brian.

Peter produced four amazing etchings for the occasion as well as many

new water colours; we also included Eno's light box, his very first video

installation "Two Fifth Avenue", several "Taking Tiger Mountain" lithographs

and "Portrait of Eno with Allusions". Even if he didn't speak the language,

Peter helped me translate the "Oblique Strategies" into French (we had a

good time 'working' on that!). He never saw the exhibition as he passed away

totally unexpectedly a few days before the opening."
