Footnote
‘I always need a story. Without a story, I can’t get going. Maybe the story changes in the doing of it. I might discover it isn’t what I thought or intended. But I need it to find my way. I’m always looking for new stories’ – Paula Rego
This print is one of a series of artworks inspired by Martin McDonagh's writing. Rego claimed that his 2003 play The Pillowman changed her life.
