Interview
Nepantla: How are you doing? How are you spending the quarantine?
Frau Katzenfisch: I’m fine, I’m by nature an indoor person, so I’m enjoying doing yoga, going for a walk, cooking, eating, cooking eating…
N: In which project are you working right now?
FK: I’m doing a picture quarantine diary.
N: What artists inspire you lately?
FK: I’m trying not to pay much attention to other artist’s works lately… because I don’t want to get affected by them.
N: I really like the way in which you combine sexy intimacy, feminism and Japanese elements in your drawings. How do you feel that these elements interact together?
FK: Thank you, Well… I think when those elements come together, you’ll see myself. The hidden eroticism is my motivation to draw, and I’m trying to add Japanese elements as my background. It was unconscious, but I realized that I was a feminist because others often pointed me that out.
N: What do people usually say about your work?
FK: Is it a reflection of your desire? lol
N: Thank you a lot, Frau Katschenfisch!
