The strange, impatient, almost harassment style of the interviewer really grates. The artist is charming despite her hurrying him. Beautiful art and fascinating process, such a shame that she doesn't just leave him be, to express his art. You can feel his nerves and how he is affected by her style.

The interviewer is maddening

Good lord, woman, let the artist speak! I'm sure he'd have done a better self-interview. He's a brilliant collage artist, with lots of knowledge to impart.

She rushed too much and not let the artist finished his explanation, how fantastic is his work love them

What a sweet man and what an abrasive interviewer. It was painful to watch.

One wishes the interviewer could muster to be more patient and polite.

Very rude interviewer

@karinmcgee9350 7 years ago

So interesting to see. Such a pity that the lady interviewing was so rude and rushed him through the process without letting him go at his own pace. She also kept finishing his sentences and words. So impatient and ruined the interview.

He is a sweet old man to share his expertise and techniques 🙏❤️

Terrible interviewer….rude and impatient…I would love to hear from this artist without her!!! She really spoiled it.

What a sweet and passionate man! Love his work.

Wonderful collagist who clearly has a passion for what he does. A few minutes in and already I don't like the impatient, rude, crap "interviewer". I would never tolerate that from a friend, family member, or colleague; much less in my working studio. Back off, you are in his workspace!

Yowie! Oh man, his process seems so differreent and interesting -- such a shame that gal kept interupting him. Gads, the guy is a total gem and she stomped all over him. We couldve had a master class if she'd just shut her mouth.

A Master Class in “How Not To Interview”!!! (Was she trying to catch the bank or the supermarket?) I was torn between the tension of enjoying Mr Digby’s words and the impatience of this interrogator.
