Kate Klingbeil is an artist who lives in Oakland, California.
Here is the interview I conducted with her via e-mail.
Q: What is your favorite piece or one of your favorite pieces of art you've made?
Kate Klingbeil: Well, I'm pretty pleased with my most recent animated film, Cherry Flip. It's very short. A border of shivering ferns unites all of the disparate styles of animation.
Q: Why do you like it?
Kate Klingbeil: Mostly, I enjoyed people's reactions to this film at the screening when I told them it's a feminist film about foreplay. I guess I like feeling uncomfortable.
Q: What's your favorite piece of somebody else's art, or one of your favorites?
Kate Klingbeil: Right now, it's "The Fountain of Youth" by Lucas Cranach the Elder. I saw it at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin last fall.
Q: Why do you like it?
Kate Klingbeil: It's a strange painting.The figures are either very old or very young, there are no middle-aged bathers. It reminds me that as each day passes, I am 24 hours closer to death. The painting's color palette looks like the spotted flesh of an elder. I look at it every day.
