"The spider's gesture of building her territory, Penelope's gesture of weaving expectation, Ariadne's line that leads out of the labyrinth, all these feminine gestures linked to thread allow us to think of weaving as a kind of writing on the surface of a palimpsest, where time makes images and meanings appear and disappear..." - Ana Rita Nicoliello
