Michael Harlan Turkell invited me to talk with him on his radio show, The Food Seen. He interviews artists, chefs, designers, photographers, stylists, and other creatives about the intersection of art, design and food.



We taped the show at the Heritage Radio Network studio, in the back of Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn. Michael and I talked about my FOOD SKETCHES project, my grandmother's cooking, working at magazines, the importance of personal projects, and where to find chicken feet gummies.
