kiki smith :

'A dream is like and animal, but an unknown one, and you cannot see all its limbs. Interpretation is a cage, but the dream can never be found inside.' ( Elias Canetti ). Quotation taken from start of book on Kiki Smith entitled, 'All Creatures Great and Small'.
The introduction goes on to say " Kiki Smith's works construct an image of the world that unites the fragmented experience of our time. It is an image that is permeated by the utopia of a harmonic whole but where the wounds and fractures of human existence and the desires and contradictions of our time remain, become tangible even."
