What is your current obsession?
I discovered a new snack called 'riceworks' - it's like a corn chip but made from brown rice.
They are so crunchy (and I love crunchy food) I want to eat them all day long but they are really hard to find!
What are you wearing today?
A black a-line skirt and leggings, black vest top and a comfy jersey top with mother of pearl
buttons. I haven't combed my hair today or put any make-up on. It's a 'home' day.
What's for dinner?
I have absolutely no idea. Whatever is in the fridge when I get there. It's what I call a
'fridge scrapings slurry' - chop up whatever is there bung it in a pan with herbs, spices, tomatoes or whatever. It sounds vile but pretty much works every time.
What would you eat for your last meal?
fish and chips of course accompanied by a fine bottle of Shiraz.
What's the last thing you bought?
food shopping - fruit, salad, yogurt and some brownie mix (for a friends birthday).
What are you listening to right now?
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
A pad in Brooklyn wouldn't go amiss.
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Anywhere where there is a big flea market going on. Although I'm not sure an hour would be enough time for me.
What's your favorite quote (for now)?
You can't always be friendly. It's impossible, there isn't the time.
Tove Jansson from Tales from Moominvalley
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
At the moment it's this dress (see above) I bought years ago from Clignancourt market in Paris. I came across this crazy lady in the rain with a massive pile of multi-colored vintage dresses on the ground. Sadly some mentalist had stuck buttons all over the dresses with glue (WHY!?) But I managed to find this one with only a button at each point of the collar and managed to get them off eventually. You can't beat a good vintage dress for 1 euro!
What is your dream job?
I'd like to be able to create my artwork full-time but also move my studio out of home so that I
could have it open to the public for a couple of days a week.
If you had £100 now, what would you spend it on?
I would pop down to this place called the Treasure Chest, it's like a antiques/junk emporium and nab myself a nice chaise longue or something.
Do you admire any one's style?
I admire people who pay no mind to what other people are into and just do what they want.
Describe your personal style?
A mixture of simple/shabby/vintage/comfortable.
What are your favourite movies?
the million dollar hotel, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the big sleep, lost in translation.
What inspires you?
Bright sunny days always help me get lots of work done.
Your favorite book ?
Yesterday by Agota Kristoff
Do you collect something ?
Lots of bits of paper with doodles and scribbles and stains on them.
The rules :
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own.
2. Tag eight other people.
Well, I slightly bent the rules here in that I actually took a whole load of questions out of the mix because the list was a little unwieldly. So many people have already had this list of questions so I'll throw it open - if you'd like to join in then post your answers on your blog and link back to this post. I'd love to read your answers...
