“This title, the font it’s printed in, and Naess’s diaristic mode all reference Roland Barthes’s 1977 book, ‘The Lover’s Discourse: Fragments,’ which uses a simple compartmental structure to organize what Barthes called ‘gestures of the lover at work.’ Naess similarly offers a series of roving and philosophical texts that explore the inner monologue of the weaver.

Her texts use tapestry and weaving metaphors to consider the part's relationship, to the whole but her attitude, self-possessed and probing, disrupts the anticipated romanticism. It's her posture of questioning that really holds my interest”
