My paintings came from a feeling that I didn’t have a voice.
I started collaging in the 1960s. I used Artaud’s poetry
because I wanted a vehicle to show my anger and he
was the angriest poet there was. I had three children at
home and I felt women artists were getting a raw deal. My
work changed when I became active within the women’s
movement, Women Artists in Revolution. In Images Of
Women 1985, I use images of women to represent woman
as protagonist and hero. This is a reversal of the typical art
practice of portraying men as heroes and protagonists...
