"It was like a low song. She spoke and he could not understand. The sounds were distinct in his ear but they had no shape or meaning. It was as though his head were the prow of a boat and the sounds were water that broke on him and then flowed past. He felt he had to look behind to find the words already said." — 23 hours, 1 min ago

[She stated] in a 1976 interview … that soft sculptures celebrate the triumphs of 'cloth as a material for high purpose' and 'softness over hardness’." — Feb 15, 2026 01:03AM

“Some sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”
