MS. MINKOWITZ: I'm using fiber, but I'm not using it because it's fiber. I'm using it because it best expresses the feeling and the three-dimensional possibilities of molding it and wrapping things with it. But- I mean, if there was another medium, I would use that. I'm not using it just because it's fiber, although I really like the repetition. It's almost like I'm repeating a cell over and over, and each cell builds a part of a body, and it connects to the human form, to the forms of nature.

And I can't think of another material that would do that for what I'm trying to express. So it's basically not really because it's fiber; it's because that's what I'm trying to express and it works for me.
