I have drawn my whole life. My parents were in the tapestry restoration business, and as a young girl, I would draw in the missing parts of the tapestry that needed to be rewoven.
From Louise Bourgeois
I know that when I finish a drawing, my anxiety level decreases. The realistic drawings are a way of pinning down an idea. I don't want to loose it. With the abstract drawings, when I'm feeling loose, I can slip into the unconscious.
I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.
When my mother died, I fell apart. My father wanted to control me. As a consequence, I ran away to America.
