Honeymoon in Germany and Italy
Part 1 Chapter 15
I have changed
the colour of the background to my messages. I am reconstructing my blog. Doing
this is like living in a house and renovating it at the same time. I invite
your feedback.
This image really makes me smile. I did these
drawings in 1994. How could I have created such a drawing with 20 spiders as the
decoration for the bedspread?
The 20 spiders
have woven this blanket and both husband and wife are trapped under it. The cat is boxed in. The bell of the tower in this Italian
village is close by and its sound is shrill and noisy. It seems the blanket
wants to fly away, i.e. the 20 spiders. Clothes are piled on the chair. There are sexual symbols. Maya is not hiding her thoughts about sex. She is not prude, but the “insectual” feeling is just too strong and interferes with whatever she does. Maya has
remained a child, see the bear’s head on the pot. Goldilocks and the three
bears might be enchanting her, a turn away from reality, a flight into fantasy.
