“Work on a good piece of writing proceeds on three levels: a musical one, where it is composed; an architectural one, where it is constructed; and finally, a textile one, where it is woven.”
Práca na dobrom diele prebieha v troch rovinách: hudobnej, kde sa komponuje, architektonickej, kde sa konštruuje, a napokon textilnej, kde sa tká.
