There are times when folks will point out certain characteristics I have, like me being an interruptor, and attribute them to my Jewish identity.

In my own work I am invested in art as a way to break through impasses, whether those impasses are personal, social, or political.

I was talking to my friend who's Israeli and she said that from the moment you're born, you're taught to hate the Palestinians. That's it. That's your life. That's what you learn from day one.

As you grow and change, you become possibly someone else. You want to go back to your family of origin and say, ‘Do you still love me? Would you still love me if I become X or Y or Z? When will you stop loving me? Is this unconditional love and if not what are the conditions?’

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

So for me to actually have access to women, to feminist women, to gay people, to trans people, to intellectuals, iconoclasts, weirdos, academics, just the people who don't normally get marketed to, in some way I kinda hoped that if I could collect all of them, I could say, "Hey! Look over here! There are enough people who like my stuff." And it sorta has seemed to be true.

I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.
