Quote from Parkett
“These are all people who I have made part of my daily life. I read about them or listen to their music for pleasure. I look for books about them, but I’m not even thinking about work at this point. Then I see a particular image of them and I really want to make pictures of them. And then I do it. It’s very seamless. Life and work are not so separated. You know that excitement when you’re walking down the street and you see someone who attracts you? Suddenly, just for a second, all possibilities are open.”
Elizabeth Peyton, interview with Linda Pilgrim, Parkett No. 53, 1998
