wrapped form

What can become of fiber guided by the artist's hand and by his intuition?
What is 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.
Handling fiber, we handle mystery.

Magdalena Abakanowicz
