Q: When do you find the time to write your blog posts?
A: You'll notice that most (if not all) of my posts are between the hours of 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday. There's no coincidence that I post when I'm at work, due to the lack of actual work that I have to do.
Q: Why don't you allow comments on your blog posts?
A: Ah, I was wondering if I was going to ask myself that. Technically I started this blog to keep me inspired, and to track my progress... not only on projects, but in life. It's nice to be able to analyze my feelings and moods, and connect them to how productive I am. If I allowed comments on the blog, I would end up shifting my focus to what people think of what I'm doing, instead of what I think.
Q: What has been your favorite project to work on so far?
A: That's a great question. Probably because I asked it to myself. So far all of my sewing projects have a lot of fun... I love the purses because of the wide variety of colors that I get to use. My least favorite is the stained glass. It's not that I don't love stained glass, it's just that the project didn't live up to my expectations.
Q: If you could have dinner with one famous artist, who would it be and why?
A: If I had to choose just one, it would be Kiki Smith. Her works are amazing. AMAZING. I wish I could describe how awesome they are... on second thought, visit her interactive site at the MoMA. See? Amazing. If I could choose a bunch of artists to hang out with, I'd curl up on my couch in the winter with endless amounts of chili and hot chocolate and watch every single season of Art21.
Q: Do you miss sculpture?
A: Absolutely. My time and space constraints don't allow me to work on big works of art at the moment. Plus, I tend to become reclusive when I'm working on sculptures: All of my time and energy go into the piece, and not into socializing... or taking care of myself. But some day, my sketches will come to life again, and massive figurative works will be born. For now, I'm happy with sewing and crafting. And having friends.
Q: Glass half-empty or half-full?
A: I always forget which one I am. It's the one where I'm real positive and optimistic. Hold on, lemme Google that... Wikipedia says I'm half-full. I try to make the best out of every situation. You can't always dwell on the things that go wrong, or you might miss everything else that's going right. That's not to say that I don't have my moments. Everyone does. But you've got to keep everything in perspective or you'll loose sight of the big picture.
Q: Why are you pretending that someone else is asking you these questions?
A: Because, I don't want people to think I'm nuts.
