At the end of March, we talked with Marianne in Skype.
The beginning of the season
Tk
April in Japan is the starting season when cherry blossoms, and schools and companies begin a new start. What do you imagine when it comes to the start season?
Mariannevinegar
In Waden, September is the start of September, so it's autumn in the season. So I feel like the end of the year is approaching in April. In Sweden, you can enjoy summer vacation, charge energy, and prepare for a new start.
Tk
We buy or remodel furniture before new life. How about Sweden?
Marianne
In Sweden, the sunshine hours are short in winter, the night is dark, the night is long, and everyone is tired. But in the spring, the length of day and night becomes the same and bright, so you can see the inside of the house well. So I start cleaning hard. It's called spring cleaning. I haven't done it yet. When I look at the mirror, I can clearly see myself, so I think I have to do it properly. Spring cleaning may be in some ways to prepare for the future.
Beginning life
Tk
Many people start living alone in April, but please tell us about living alone.
Marianne
When I was a college student, I started living away from my parents for the first time. I was sharing the room with her friends. It was a very old and leaked apartment, but the rent was very cheap and it was quite free. I enjoyed living at that time.
Tk
Do you still interact with people at that time?
Marianne
yes. They are glass craftsmen making flowers with glass, but one of them is good and he has been in New York for a long time. The other lives in Dominica now.
Tk
What were three people doing?
MarianneI did a lot of things, but I danced all night with a disco. I'm not here now. (smile)
TkHow was your student life?
Marianne
I was studying sociology at first. I wasn't studying art from the beginning. There are students from a variety of universities in the apartment, especially with many art, and I was invited by a friend who lived next to me to have a ceramic class together, so I am interested in pottery. other. Many friends are active in the world of glass crafts. I also went to a glass craft school, but I thought pottery was more suitable for me.
Tk
So, if you were not invited by a friend who lived next door, wouldn't you do pottery?
Marianne
No, I think I was doing pottery anyway.
One of the beginnings
Tk
If you are starting a new life now, what kind of life do you choose?
Marianne
I think it depends on the time of life, but now I'm good. I want to cherish the production and work time. I think there are times when the timing of life changes again. Working in the art world is also sociable, and on the other hand, it takes time to work alone, and I think it's important to balance well. It's not always fun to be alone. It's actually more fun to have a family or friend. But for me now, I think I need time alone for work.
