  6. How do you do it, Mien? You've got these minimal images of dried, shrivelled, spotted fruit and seeds, and not only are they beautiful, they are moving! And those sewn-together pieces - I think of a little wood-creature on a seat of moss, stitching with rough and awkward fingers towards a magic coat. Love it.
