I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Architecture is my first love, if you want to talk about what moves me... the ordering of space, the visual pleasure, architecture's power to construct our days and nights.

But I really resist categories – that naming is a closing down of meaning. Women's art, political art – those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which I'm resistant to. But I absolutely define myself as a feminist.

All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It's scary.
