I think generational trauma also plays a big part in the reactions to Israeli politics.

I did a piece where I was talking about torture at Abu Ghraib, and I embroidered my hand with the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoners who'd been tortured using a needle and thread. I know that meeting a Holocaust survivor when I was eight and seeing the tattoo on her arm from her time in the camps influenced my piece about Abu Ghraib.

It will feel boring when you're bingeing.

I want women to be the subject, not the object.

I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.

When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.

I'd always have a sort of automatic urge to share what I'm doing with other people.
