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

Clothing is . . . an exercise in memory. It makes me explore the past: how did I feel when I wore that. They are like signposts in the search for the past.

A work of art doesn't have to be explained.

Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.

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

If you are resentful, you keep the thing alive. So the way to go on is to get rid of it, in order to forgive in order to forget.

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