I find them quite irritating for what they are, but I needed to make a statement. I felt like I was drowning, and I needed to say something. I see almost a “confused intellect” – I don ’t see them as particularly aesthetic, but about working out my process... almost 20 years of working out... – SMW paraphrased by MH.

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “… De Ateliers as a boys club. I was gay but I had a penis so it didn’t matter. I lost contact with Carolee for a year, and I asked myself, what happened? All my feminist work was kind of tossed by them.” – SMW. “I was laughed away because I was a woman. The only way to survive is to become one of the boys […]. Feminist as a word, but a dirty word.” – Anon.

“I’m quite gay, aren’t I? (not ‘queer’ — that almost too cool). The work, to me, looks quite gay 1990s — a kind of ‘colourful abjection’. A quite nice combination I think.
