‘I don't want to talk meanings. I can't (it's personal, a secret). I could let you see what you want and say 'Yes it can be about that'. But then I would feel offended, because you hadn't seen what I want you to. I take things personally. I would be frustrated that I didn't tell you what it means in the first place. And I'd simmer. But that would be my fault. I wouldn't tell you how I felt because that may offend you, and you might react, and I don't want to run that risk. So you leave thinking what you feel about my work is correct and I have confirmed your thoughts. But I'm still here simmering. I've left it too late. My opportunity is missed, but I can't get angry because it's my fault and ANGER WOULD BE UNREASONABLE. The next person comes along and the same thing is repeated. This time my stomach knots, the next time my shoulders tighten. By the end of the day I want to bawl MY WORK IS ABOUT REPRESSION. But I can't (it's personal, a secret).’
