As Loiuse Bourgeois says "art is a guarantee of sanity" and I think amidst the lies of politicians, the artists voice of sanity must become ubiquitous to combat the lies of politicians kate walker <a href="mailto:kayew2003@hotmail.com" rel="nofollow">kayew2003@hotmail.com</a>kate walkerFri, 26 Dec 2008 19:15:33 -0000
