Sophie Blackall is up there for me with Beatrice Alemegna as two of my favorite creators of beautiful, important books for children. So of course I enjoyed this interview with Blackall on The Yarn where (yes, even) she discusses the usefulness of harnessing stress when coming up with ideas. Then she discusses her new book, FARMHOUSE — an archival tribute to all who have occupied the space before — as the house itself was deteriorating and ultimately demolished.
