The southern patio of a friend, a school studio and later large loft spaces allowed me to develop a body of work from theMiniaturesto 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 works as reference, a deep knowledge of my material, and 3 ancient techniques led me to create a kind of alphabet, a vocabulary.
