The tale can be set anywhere, and can move into realms that are off limits for the novel—into the cellars and attics of the mind, where figures that can appear in novels only as dreams and fantasies take actual shape, and walk the earth.
- Margaret Atwood
writing and imagination
Artist kiki smith, daughter of the American sculptor Tony Smith, had an unorthodox upbringing in New Jersey. “There was a gravestone with our name in front of the house,” she said in 2003. “The kids would say I was a witch.”
Her father’s fascination with death, combined with her upbringing in the Catholic church, had an impact on her career trajectory as well: instead of elaborate, abstract forms, which were the hallmark of her father, she gravitated toward storytelling and began to develop complicated narratives for her work.
