" The spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. My family was
in the business of tapestry restoration, and my mother was in charge of the workshop.
Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes
spread diseases and therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just my mother."

" I only work when I feel the need to express something. I may not be sure of exactly what it is, but I know that
something is cooking and when I am on the tight track. The need is very strong. To express your emotions, you
have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you, if you have that gift that artists have.
I only know if I'm inspired by the results. "
