It would have more meaning for me to hear what critics have to say if their values and their ways of living were deeper and more serious.

Years ago, it was easier to make new things than it is now. The weight of experience weighs heavily, and the expectations; everybody wants to see something they haven't seen before. Now, with social media, with too much information, with the speed of information - all that is making it harder and harder to realize the objective.

I started with wanting to think about witches, about strong women who have special powers - who are often misunderstood. Then I found some beautiful blue fabric, so I made Blue Witches.

Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

The same spirit runs through everything I do.
