"I guess maybe my art can be said to be a protest. I see things a certain way, and as an artist Iâ€™m privileged in that arena to protest or say publicly what Iâ€™m thinking about. Maybe the strongest work Iâ€™ve done is because it was done with indignation. Considering myself as a feminist, I donâ€™t want my work to be a reaction to what male art might be or what art with a capital A would be. I just want it to be art. In a convoluted way, I am protesting- protesting the usual way art is looked at, being shoved into a period or category."

-- Nancy Spero
