"Then, I discovered textile making: first knitting, then needlepoint, and eventually patchwork. Each of these was a way to create pools of color that became a very visceral part of one's life as opposed to paintings that were just hung on walls. … All textile making is just another way to play with color that is at the same time deeply therapeutic to do."
「后来我发现织物：先是针织，再是 needlepoint，最后拼布。每一样都是制造色彩的池沼，成为生活中血肉相连的部分——而不是挂在墙上的画。……一切织物创作不过是玩色彩的另一种方式，同时极治愈。」
—— 《Kaffe Fassett in the Studio》（2021）L186（导言）。
"When we got to the Holm Mills in Inverness, run by Bill Pringle, I was astonished to find all the colors from that breathtaking landscape on the shelves of the mill shop in their knitting yarns. … On the train on the way home, I began thinking about my newly acquired yarns. These subtle tones needed to be combined with great sensitivity. I couldn't rely on anyone else to knit up my vision the right way … Alice Dunstan Russell … was sitting opposite me on the train. I looked at her and asked, 'Do you know how to knit? I need desperately to do something with these yarns I've just bought.' … I had my first lesson right there on the train. I practiced deep into the night as the train roared south to London."
「到因弗内斯的 Holm Mills 毛纺厂（Bill Pringle 经营），我震惊地发现：那片震撼风景的所有颜色都躺在厂店纱线架上……回程火车上我想：这些微妙色调必须以极高的敏感度组合——没人能替我织出我想要的画面。同行的 Alice Dunstan Russell 坐在对面，我问：『你会织吗？我必须马上对这些纱线做点什么。』……就在火车上上了第一课，列车一路南行，我练到深夜。」

"It was said they doubled the people coming to the V&A during my show. … The critic attacked my work … She said I created a cacophony of color and pattern, and, anyway, why was an American allowed to show at the V&A when so many British craftspeople weren't? … But most of the reaction was enthusiastic, as I was the first living textile artist to have a one-man show at the museum."
「据说我的个展期间 V&A 观众数翻倍。……有评论家攻击我制造了『色彩与图案的喧闹』，还说凭什么让美国人来 V&A 办展而这么多英国手工艺人不行。……但大多数反响是热烈的——我是第一位在馆内办个展的在世纺织品艺术家。」

"I'm Kaffe Fassett. Welcome to my house — a laboratory for color. What we do here is experiment with color on every possible form you can think of. … So remember: color is the tonic the world needs."
「我是凯菲·法瑟特。欢迎来到我家——一座色彩的实验室。我们在这里做的，就是在你能想到的每一种形态上试验色彩。……记住：色彩是世界需要的补药。」

"To me, it's like breathing. It's like I'm taking in oxygen. I'm taking in my wonderful view of color in the world. If I'm feeling ill or depressed, if you shove me into a garden full of color, I revive."
「对我而言这像呼吸。吸进氧气，也吸进世界给我的色彩。若我病了或情绪低落，把我推进开满色彩的花园，我就活过来了。」

"What makes color really work is proportion. And proportion comes through pattern. If you get it right, the pattern just sings."
「让色彩真正成立的，是比例。而比例来自图案。做对了，图案自己会歌唱。」

"The big secret for what we do is that none of our work is done on the computer. All of it is done by hand and we don't pre-plan anything. It's a completely spontaneous work. You know like you'll make a mess in the studio and out of the corner of that mess you'll see some wonderful little color combination that was totally accidental and that becomes the theme of the next piece."
「我们这行最大的秘密：没有一件作品经过电脑，全部手工，而且不做预设。完全即兴。你把工作室弄乱，从那堆混乱的角落里看见一个纯属偶然的绝妙小配色——它就成了下一件作品的主题。」

"…when you break it down into units it's very simple structures. And once you learn the basic techniques you can fly."
「……拆成单元后，结构非常简单。学会基本技法，你就能飞。」
