"'Everything is biographical,' Lucien Freud says. What we make, why it is
made, how we draw a dog, who it is we are drawn to, why we cannot forget.
Everything is collage, even genetics. There is the hidden presence of others
in us, even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our
lives, at every border we cross."
