A Poet Asks a Visual Artist: Paolo Arao
I am reminded of the piano every time I sit to weave at my loom. I love the similarities between the piano and the loom. Both devices are creative instruments that rely on the touch of the hand and movement of the body to function. There is a somatic and embodied rhythm in the process of weaving - the repetition is like breathing.
