The fire was followed by a period of grieving and then by an incredible lightness, freedom, and mobility.

It's a grieving period and, it tugs at the heartstrings to see it.

The work is flowing from an inner knowing of how things really are.

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.

I think of moving as a kind of saving grace.

In America there's a really common thing -- a grieving period where you cry for a little while and then you get back to normal.
