'...as I was weaving, the warp began to hang in places looser than the woven part. I thought to myself, it won't be any good. Then I thought, But I don't have to show it to anybody; it's just for myself. And I felt free! I did as I wanted. And then when I took it off the loom and threw it on the floor I felt that tiny click near the heart that meant: it was not bad. So I learned in that piece that I had freedom to do what I wanted. I didn't have to please anybody but myself' Lenore Tawney, 1971
