To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.

A work of art does not need an explanation. The work has to speak for itself. The work may be subject to many interpretations, but only one was in the mind of the artist. Some artists say to make the work readable for the public is an artist’s responsibility, but I don’t agree with that. The only responsibility to be absolutely truthful to the self. My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.

It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.

To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if Im inspired by the results.

I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.

For me, sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture.
