"In the paintings where it's there—the tenderness—I work for it. I'm not afraid of it. If I could put my bleeding heart in there, I would."

"When was making dolefullhouse, I began to throw in various ideas that came to me, which I hoped would create an interesting development in the work. So I did not begin with a preconceived idea. Rather, it was as though I spread a piece of paper in front of me and kept throwing things onto it." —Tabaimo
