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

My knives are like a tongue - I love, I do not love, I hate. If you don’t love me, I am ready to attack. I am a double-edged knife.

Art is a guarantee of sanity.

Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.

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.

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

It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture.
