LA Weekly (September 2-8, 2005 ): "The avant-garde world was getting so stale
to me, it was no more avant-garde, because it was an establishment of itself,
and theres a hierarchy, etc. etc. (--) We forget the body I mean,
we are the body. In the avant-garde world, I was crucified for using too much
body. I was too sexual or too, I dont know, too emotional, too dramatic
or something." Photos

artist herself. Deluxe hard-cover edition, 128 pages, printed on high quality
