Reviews
The title of My Will Remains is drawn from a quote by Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), the Mexican artist. Her work resonates with me as an artist who has worked lying down, as she did. I have joined her, proclaiming my sisterhood as I work lying down due to my pain and fatigue with my disability. Kahlo is my role model for persisting, for working-lying down does not mean being unproductive. - Diane Driedger, artist and editor
