4. SOUNDBITE (English) Carole Feuerman, artist – on why she turned to swimmers:
"I've been doing swimmers since the late '70s when I did my first swimmer and I did this swimmer because I did this very sensual, sexual, well I don't know about sexual, but very sensual body of work. I did 13 sculptures, and I showed them in Fort Worth, Texas and nobody was ready. In 1978, 79, you could not show if you were a woman. I found out later had I been a man, it may have been different. But this was the Bible Belt."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Carole Feuerman, Sculpture artist – on finding a solution:
"I'm going to do the most American, Americana kind of thing you could ever do, I'm gonna do sports. And I was thinking, but I don't know anything about sports. I don't know sports players, but I know swimming. And I don't even know famous swimmers, but I know swimming, I'm going to start with a swimmer, but I wasn't sure."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Carole Feuerman, artist – on the inspiration behind Catalina:

When I see something in my mind, I turn it into a sculpture. I can actually see it finished in my mind. And then I do all the work. So, I saw that woman coming out of the water, breaking through. I saw her breaking through, and I did the life-sized one. And I made one. I had a gallery at the time who said to me, 'How are you going to make a living if you only make one? You have to have at least three.'"

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Carole Feuerman, artist:
"It wasn't someone who ignited the spark. It was the spark within me that was my saving grace, my lifeline. Things were tough. I had it really hard. I had parents - a mental illness in my family. They didn't want me to do my (art) work. I had to pay for my own college. The art made me happy. The art was something that was inside of me that I just had to do. It saved me, saved me."

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Carole Feuerman, artist:
"I have a daughter that didn't walk or talk when she was born and when she was one and two and three and four and five and nobody knew what was wrong with her. It wasn't until she was six that I got her to be able to talk, and I learned you can't give up, you know? And now she's happy and she's married and she is working. You can quit or you can go on. So, I
came up with this thing I used to say. I used to tell her, 'Don't s... [truncated]
