It is essential…to undertake the reconstruction of the primordial Androgyne that all traditions tell us of, and it’s supremely desirable, and tangible, incarnation within ourselves. Andre Breton
“Duchamp’s assumption of the female alter ego, Rrose Sélavy, whose signature graced a large number of his works, played a critical role in his art-making for over twenty years. The expression of the feminine side of his nature, although seemingly humorous, apparently gave him more freedom to create. I found this fascinating, enviable, and worth exploring.” Pat Lenz
Not to be engaged in any groove is very important for me. I want to be free, and I want to be free for myself, foremost. Marcel Duchamp
