It was fun Zooming on Monday morning with this deep thinker and eco-conscious artist who colors outside the lines.
This digital age allows lightning-fast publishing. I sent the story to my editor Thursday evening and two days later, it’s live. Today's lightning press can of course travel MUCH faster than that. But back in the day in the magazine world (1980s to early 2000s), we waited three months to see the print issue after putting it to bed! Such a long wait, but it felt worth it. We didn't know anything else yet.
It was an enlightening interview for me, as I try to consume fewer short-lived fashions and plastics and more local groceries (when budget allows).

P.S. Note to my friend Kim. Because Kajsa is Swedish and thinks outside the box as an artist, she reminds me of your Maya.

Ah, loved this. There is such a deep love of both nature and design in Sweden. I think it's a combo of spectacular (and still) very unspoiled landscapes AND long, hard, dark winters. They really value their interiors bc they are in them so long. Even the most humble hotel we stayed in had a wonderful, airy, clean feel!
ReplyDeletethat was Kim. Why blogspot, why?
ReplyDeleteGreat piece, Alice. Love creative people addressing world issues. Thinking how my job has changed since the 80s is weird for me too.
