...mother got me [William Blake's] Songs of Innocence as a child, and the idea of mixing drawing and handwriting was ingrained in me quite early. Since I was very young I loved poetry, reading the Bible, fairy tales. I was very young when I developed a personal aesthetic, ironically through fashion magazines - old Vogue magazines from the '50s.

"Perhaps it was out of this ... grounding of faith in struggle that the historically black church offered me a second insight: that faith doesn...
Even more importantly, however, her case has also gotten many people across France reexamining their attitudes toward the assisted suicides of terminal patients that are legal in Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. France's standing law was written in 2005, after a mother and doctor provoked the death of a young man who no longer wanted to live in his paralyzed, virtually shut-in condition. Marie Humbert - the mother of that man - has continued denouncing the law for only allowing the passive act of interrupting life-sustaining treatment. Some 300,000 people have signed Humbert's petition to depenalize active...
