"You know, art can be something which can really disempower people, or it can be a vehicle which can empower people."

"Catholicism continues on in the work. I have a tremendous love for the spiritual part of life. The drip as an icon ... bleeding people wearing crowns of thorns. I did a painting based on the martyrdom of St. Sebastian. It’s called Rosebud (1983)."
