Sigmar Polke

Because I was traveling a lot during the '70s, the only thing I could do on the road was take photographs, so there wasn't much painting during those years.

Light is a metaphoric thing. There is green light and red light. Then there is black light, which is mostly danger.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.
