I look upon youth in admiration and admire them for their curiosity about the world, their shape shifting, their ideas about the future.

When I see my work in a gallery I often wonder how I got to this point. Sometimes the process of making the work feels like a blur, and I look at the work and wonder how I actually made it.

I look upon youth in admiration and admire them for their curiosity about the world, their shape shifting, their ideas about the future.

I love young people because they are always looking ahead, and older people because they can look back; and both make sense of the world so economically. You can learn so much from the wisdom of the young and the old. I'm just in between!

The transition into adulthood is so exciting and remarkable to witness as parent.

Sometimes I think that I stay young and in touch with contemporary culture because of my children's interests. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by their talent and vibrancy.

In a sense the physical connectedness that you feel with your children as a mother changes as they become independent.
