"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
"Blood on the Tracks" (2005)

"Often I put a deep-space kind of motif on a shaped canvas like that and then the two squares that are the empty space make the wall be part of the painting. Then you get real space and fake space, and the physical object—the canvas, shaped or rectangular."
-Mary Heilmann
