Q&A translated from Spanish
What does creating macramé mean to you/how does it make you feel?
For me, working crafts is the very expression of being, leaving time and space behind; is to fill in the blank spaces that life has, to communicate your thinking and feeling.
Who did you learn from?
I learned from a boyfriend I had in Valparaiso.
Who will you pass it onto?
I have taught many people macramé, many children. I don’t know if my children will catch on but maybe later on they will want to learn.
What have learnt from life that you feel everyone should know?
What I have learned is to be more austere in many things and that everyone should know a little bit about everything. To know how to adapt, hustle and to know how to do many things to survive.
