A work of art doesn't have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn't touch you, I have failed.

Clothing is . . . an exercise in memory. It makes me explore the past: how did I feel when I wore that. They are like signposts in the search for the past.

Space is something that you have to define. Otherwise, it is like anxiety, which is too vague. A fear is something specific. I like claustrophobic spaces, because at least then you know your limits.

It is not so much where my motivation comes from but rather how it manages to survive.

I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.

It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.
