"I believe that nature, our bodies, our spirits, and our intellect matter, regardless of gender or selection of gender. I began as an artist reflective of the double standard that has existed about women's and men's bodies in terms of eros, possession, sexuality, and mores, as well as in a nation that imagined the body as less spiritual than the mind, or something immoral or violative in some way of propriety and decency."
