Understanding this quote
The speaker says that most of their paintings are no longer part of their everyday surroundings. They rarely encounter the works and do not even know where many of them are. “Half of my life’s work” shows how large this absence feels: a major part of what they have made is effectively out of sight and beyond their knowledge.
