The southern patio of a friend, a school studio and later large loft spaces allowed me to develop a body of work from the Miniatures to 3-story high walls of braided or knotted rope.
A few ceiling hooks, pulleys, a choice of different height stools, a couple of high ladders (the rope falls and I climb), a rope cutter and my hands were all the tools I needed.
The presence of a few finished works as a reference, a deep knowledge of my material, and 3 ancient techniques led me to create a kind of alphabet, a vocabulary.
