“A small gilded lion keeps watch at her feet, a blue bird has landed on the railing: she reigns over a menagerie she never had to tame. Behind her, the zinc rooftops stretch as far as the eye can see to a gilded bell tower, red flowers spill over the wrought iron, and the sky wavers between storm and clearing as if it could not settle on the mood of the day. I paint the way certain women tame their own inner beasts, setting their strength and their whimsy around them without needing to name them, and look the world straight in the eye from the top of their city. In June, Paris feels like an empty theatre all to oneself, and there you discover, at last, that you have nothing left to prove to anyone.”
