My work is really abject and self-effacing sometimes. I mean, it's big and overwrought, but it's just paper dolls, and it's kind of silly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that.
My work is intensely personal.
I think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it's not altogether successful.
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Descriptions of my work depress me. They make me feel pinned down.
I'm always jotting things down on pieces of paper. I've got pieces of paper all over my house.
Since I was a child I have always been cutting things out and gluing them together rather than drawing them.
I tend to push whatever is looking over my shoulder away when I am writing. It's once the box of books arrive that I say I'm going to be pilloried for this or that. But then you realize it's done, and there is nothing I can do. I'm proud of the book.
I've always put myself intensely into my work.
Well, I am obsessive about my work. I throw myself in all the way.
