``I enjoy working in a simple, practical way with materials. My objective is the direct transfer of thought from mind to paper (or clay or gum or metal). Art Spiegelman described cartooning as 'writing with pictures.' I don't consider myself a cartoonist, but there is always a narrative interpretation in my brain, in response to all visual information. In my current work, I'm counting on my characters to help me fill in that narrative. The kinesthetic sense rules when I'm working 3-dimensionally. I like to close my eyes, and feel my way along with the materials. Since 2015, I have been working to develop a Graphic Novel, in tandem with the 2-D and 3-D pieces I produce along the way.`` ~ Jane Peterson
