About The Fabrics And Wallpapers:
“It was difficult for me to write at first. I am by nature a visual person and what helped me to move the project forward was to keep coming back to textile design and other visual ways to tell the story.
In the end it is a novel but ultimately it’s more than that. It’s a story. A story across many formats. And I think that people need their stories.”
