" I see fiber as the basic element constructing the organic world on our planet,
as the greatest mystery of our environment.
It´s is from fiber that all living organisms are built - the tissues of plants, and ourselves.
Our nerves, our genetic code, the canals of our veins, our muscles.
We are fibrous structures.
Our heart is surrounded by the coronary plexus,
the plexus of most vital threads.
Handling fiber, we handle mystery.
A dry leaf has a network
reminiscent of a dry mummy.
What can become of fiber guided by the artistic´s hand and by his intuition?
What is a fabric?
We weave it, sew it, we shape it into forms.
When the biology of our body breaks down the skin has to be cut so as to give access to the inside.
Later it has to be sewn, like fabric.
Fabric is our covering and our attire, made with our hands it is a record of our souls."
