Note : "I have a sense of having lived many, many times on this earth. I have fleeting memories and visions of landscapes and cities. When I walk through museums, I am drawn to this greater memory of Self which extends far beyond human existence. When I work on my sculptures, they reveal themselves to me. I don't feel that I consciously make them, yet I know exactly how to make them. It is as if I made them before, as if I had been them before. I am the lovers walking in the desert. I am the solitary figure of Ulysses. I am the floating Magdel spoons. I am the Horse and Rider. I am the Unearthed and the Sentinels holding my world in focus. All these people are on a journey and it is my journey. I cannot create anything that is not myself. I cannot experience what I have not owned. Male or female, I am all." - Deborah Bell1 1.
