'I am intimately involved with my subject matter... I am not disengaged from the subject of my gaze. With photographic activities it is possible that those who take the picture leave no traces of their presence, and are absent from the images. Paintings exist as the traces of their makers and by the grace of these traces. You can't take a painting - you make a painting.' (M. Dumas, quoted in D. van den Boogerd, B. Bloom & M. Casadio (eds.), Marlene Dumas, London 1999, p. 122)
