Quick Q&A: Aico Tsumori, Crisselle, Gina Matarazzo, Junna Maruyama, Dead Seagull, all respond to the same 4 questions which delve into their artistic practice:

1. What’s a creative risk you’ve taken that completely changed your perspective or practice?
2. If your work could whisper one thing to the viewer, what would it say?
3. In moments of self-doubt or burnout, what do you do to enable you to keep going?
4. Has envy ever shown up in your creative journey? How have you learned to cope with it or transform it?
