How did you get into debt?
Graduate school combined with chronic illness.

How does your economic reality effect your art?
It's hard to focus on making art when you are so worried about survival. I can't afford to travel, which limits opportunities for collaboration.

Would your work look different if you weren't in debt?:
I'd be less terrified & more free to think about and experiment with a wide range of subject matter beyond those pertaining to survival.
