British artist Leonora Carrington, 84, talks during an interview with Reuters in her house in the bohemian Roma district of Mexico City November 11, 2000, where she has lived for the past 50 years. Carrington was born into the British aristocracy but ran away with her lover, [the Surrealist painter Max Ernst, to Paris], where her work was first shown in an exhibition of Surrealist art in 1938. Her sculptures of fabulous creatures and mystical monsters adorn Mexico City.
