Last September, I was interviewed about my work by Carley out in Utah. It was fun to spend an hour on the phone talking to her. She recently sent me the interview- I was really nervous to listen to it… you know that feeling you get when you hear your own voice? And, of course, I was worried about what I’d said- did I sound like a complete idiot? Well, I listened to it and survived. I needed to know if I should post it, so had husband, then daughter listen. Consensus?- go for it. It is in 5 sections. I will post a segment a week x 5.
So- hear Mimi talk- (approx. 8 minutes)
Part 1 of the interview
Hi Mimi,
I really really enjoyed your interview. I admire your commitment. It was wonderful to hear you tell your stories and I eagerly await the other installments. You sound like you are in a very good place with your doll making, not surprising as the dolls speak it themselves.
Best Regards,
Kim
you made the right decision to share this audio! thank you. very inspiring.
you have such a cute accent! and oh my, your studio was under 8 ft of water!!! talk about a sign that you have to move on with something new… wow.. do you have any of that fabric left? are you still working with it.. it is amazing the memories that fabrics can hold. Well done, can’t wait for the next instalment.
Mimi,
the interview is sweet. I look forward to hearing the rest. thanks for posting.
Mimi,
sweet interview! very interesting. thanks for posting. (waiting patiently for the rest)
Oh, Mimi–thanks for sharing that! How wonderful to put a voice to your work! YOu sound very young! and such great stories about your mom and all. Can’t wait to hear more!
Sounds great! Looking forward to the rest of it.
Hi, there!
I just got your interview to work (my computer was acting up) and I’m amazed to hear all the background of you as an artist and how you work with materials. The history is very touching about your mom and reusing her fabrics. I loved this as it is something I enjoy doing as well and gives new life to something that probably would be thrown out.
I look forward to hearing the next interview segments. And I hope all is well with your parents…that is so difficult (I’ve been there too with friends/family).
