Your name and what is your medium and website?
Sustainable fashion, one-of-a-kind wearable art. I upcycled unwanted clothing into new fun fashion. www.diana-by-design.com
Is your studio at home or outside, and if at home, is it a dedicated room or are you having to share it with other family members?
in my home. My husband is now working from home so it is a little less free environment.
Are you finding it difficult to work now? Or has this become a time of great creativity?
all of my stores who sell my wears are closed, women's clothing is not selling, even on-line. My on-line shop is dead. All of my art shows have been postponed til July. All this said, yes, I am having a hard time not making my spring/summer line and have instead begun sewing medical wear. Masks, surgical caps...
What is it you are working on now? Does it relate in any way to current events, or are you letting this be a time of releasing all that while the ideas flow?
stated above. Trying to help with the need for face masks, surgical caps. Have donated around 300 to hospitals, nurses, homeless shelters, and workers. Made 165 for a food supplier. And now am starting to sell to private people. I need to get back to my business but why build more inventory if I am not selling??????
Do you think this experience will permanently alter the way you create, or do you think you will go back to your way of creating art before, and if it will change you, in what way and why?
Yes, this will change the way we all operate. Will people spend money after this crisis when so many like myself are at zero income. I will try to be more accommodating to others, and not sure where my business will turn after this?
