“If there is one of the oldest pictorial mediums, it is textiles in all its forms of creation, including materials and gestures and expressing the artistic dimension in an embodied and sensual way.
Today, this omnipresent material in many events is the very expression of a pictoriality combining meaning and composition. Indeed, the textile is sculpted like clay, takes shape like charcoal, is deposited like a painted layer. Isn't the stroke of a spindle or a needle as expressive and sensitive as a well-controlled stroke of a pencil? The technique is not necessarily necessary, and if it is sometimes essential, it must combine freedom and rigor.“
