It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it.

Without anxiety and illness I would have been like a ship without a rudder.

I felt as if there were invisible threads connecting us - I felt the invisible strands of her hair still winding around me - and thus as she disappeared completely beyond the sea - I still felt it, felt the pain where my heart was bleeding - because the threads could not be severed.

In my childhood I always felt that I was treated unjustly, without a mother, sick, and with the threat of punishment in Hell hanging over my head

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available.
