I believe that connecting with other moms is so important; after all, we are all on this crazy journey together and no one understands what we're going through better than each other.
The surrealists, and the modern movement in painting as a whole, seemed to offer a key to the strange postwar world with its threat of nuclear war. The dislocations and ambiguities, in cubism and abstract art as well as the surrealists, reminded me of my childhood in Shanghai.
It's a very big deal to me to remain the same person because I know all of this is going to be gone one day and I'm just going to have myself.
