I'm doing a collaborative project with another artist, Mary Hamill. My project is to gather the oral history of war widows, starting with the women of my village, Kop Nymit.

I'd like to do more collaborations because collaboration creates different viewpoints.

I think that through the narratives of other people you get closer to your own.

When you're reading from a different language that's different from your own, it's not the same as being fluent.

It's really hard when you read literature in a language that's not your own. There are all these cultural references you have to be born into that particular language to get.

Sometimes it may be something I hear in the news that affects me.

I think every writer has their waves of inspiration and their ways of doing things. But writing is very difficult for me. It's something I haven't practiced as diligently as my visual art. I've been doing visual art because I think it's easier for me to construct, whereas words are very difficult.
