Aung San Sui Kyi, this quote is from her in Saturday’s Guardian
‘”This word ‘free’,” she says of herself and the other prisoners, “we all think that we are freer than the people outside because we don’t have to compromise with our conscience. We are doing what we believe in. We are not locked in by the bars of guilt. So I think this is what made us choose imprisonment rather than to stay – in quotes – ‘free’. For us, that is how our lives are.”
Those wise words encapsulate something of what I was thinking about in creating these works. The print monotype of her home, particulary, and the ‘house arrest’ piece.
