I think young people have a wonderful reaction to color because it's not screwed up by too many references.

It's as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it.

I think that some works are more accessible than others.

I was trying to write an autobiography using prints and patterns that reference emotional, psychological, and personal development in my work, as a person growing up, figuring out who I was. I used fabrics to stand in for occurrences.

I was feeling a strong need to change, grow, and break with particular things that were going on in my life and my history, and the material was the perfect answer for that.

Landscape is a piece that is emotional and psychological.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.
