"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"’Cri du Coeur’ was the first piece I did after my husband- Leon Golub- died. A cri du coeur is a cry of the heart, something of intense emotion, almost like praying or pleading with heaven."
