"Over the years, I have come to understand that a very good artist is also, by necessity, a very good Trickster: a provacative goad and guide to our own deep transformations and growth. The Artist/ Trickster is the holy fool who has herself been utterly transformed by the crisis of crative illness and who now spurts the rest of us on to our own intitiantions, however harrowing."
