| "As it says, these are my ways of seeing myself. A gilded mask, no attempt at flattery, in spite of the medium. Is that a halo? The canonisation of junk, if anything. The texture is much worked on, with gold leaf and drops of lead solder spattered behind the glass. The blackboard at the back of the old oval frame is for my years of teaching. I told the students I wanted the formula e^iķ= -1 on my tombstone. There's a pure beauty in mathematics. The dead rat? It's me, too. Or will be, soon enough. And the spray of false finger nails - it took me 40 years to get over the self loathing and guilt induced by thin models and fat advertisers." |
