A Conversation With Ruby About Her Artwork
Ruby: Look at my collage!
Me: That's beautiful! Tell me about it.
Ruby: Well, this is fire, and fire, and fire. This can electrocute you. This is a smoke monster and this is a dirt monster and this is fire dirt. The dirt monster comes out of the smoke, and the dirt lives by itself and moves the people into the fire and the fire burns them and these cuts [she fringed all four sides] are where everybody lives.
Me: Should I frame this and we can put it in your room?
Ruby: No! I don't want it in my room.
Me: Why not?
Ruby: Because it'll scare me and give me nightmares. I don't want to look at it anymore. Never frame it! Never frame it!
