I Can Be Fearlessly Strong

My Ideas Are Not Developed Before I Actually Do The Pieces.

The Work Is What It Is And Hopefully It's Seen As Feminist Work, Or Feminist-advised Work, But I'm Not Going To Go Around Espousing Theoretical Bullshit About Feminist Stuff.

Early In My Career, A Critic Said That I Needed To "explain" The Irony In My Work, Suggesting That I Needed To Add Text Next To The Images To Help People Understand What I Was Trying To Say. At First I Was Dismayed That I Wasn't Making Work With A Clear Enough Message. That's When I Realized That That Was The Exact Opposite Of What I Wanted To Do - That I Wasn't Responsible For A Misinterpretation Of My Work, That There Should Be Some Ambiguity To It. They Either Got It, Or They Didn't.

Nowadays, With Digital Printing, It's So Easy To Make Everything Perfect, Which Is Not Always A Good Idea. Sometimes The Mistakes Are Really What Make A Piece.

I Didn't Think Of What I Was Doing As Political. To Me It Was A Way To Make The Best Out Of What I Liked To Do Privately, Which Was To Dress Up.
