"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."

"At one point, the term ‘cloning’ occurred to me and I thought, 'Oh my God, am I creating all these deformed pieces!' I can’t explain what they do to me except that they feel like they’re not deformities- they’re just very beautiful."
- Ida Applebroog
