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

Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented - which is what fear and anxiety do to a person - into something whole.

You must put the essence of what you want to say into a painting. The rest is arbitrary. Chosen with discernment, but chosen, and choice involves elimination.

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

Artists are born not made. There's nothing you can do for them.

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.

One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.
