A MOÇA TECELÃ

Marina Colasanti, an artisan of syntax, linguistic play and symbolic meanings, weaves the bookThe Weaver Girl with magical words, which features in this publication the work of other artisans – the Dumont sisters, embroiderers, and the illustrator Demóstenes, whose drawings were transformed into artisanal threads. The result is a beautiful book. Unique!
Words, lines and tapestries intertwine to take the reader to another time. A time when men, warriors, went off to battle, and women found in the art of looming the space to experience the long and difficult wait. However, in the tale created by Marina Colasanti, the girl does not wait. The weaver girl builds her own story on the loom. He lacked nothing. When he was hungry, he wove a beautiful fish. She herself brought back the time when she felt alone, and for the first time she thought about how good it would be to have a husband. Discovering herself unhappy, the weaver girl, during the night, held the shuttle upside down and undid her husband.
