In Tisser sa toile, Tina Merandon approaches the mother-daughter relationship from a very original point of view. Taking advantage of an artistic residency in Brittany, she used the idea of the woven web (sheets and tablecloths, textile objects that were often associated with the domestic rituals that linked women together) to have women pose behind a veil, mothers and daughters together.

The projected shadows are not without evoking Plato's cave. There is thus an archaic dimension in this mother-daughter relationship, supported by this shadow theater that also brings to mind cave paintings at the limits of representation.
This is why, to this idea of an archaic image, the artist wanted to associate images of female statues found in the Calvaries of Finistère dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, an opulent time thanks to the linen trade. Processed in the book using gilded print on black paper, opening and closing the work, they are also reminiscent of the origins of Western representation such as Byzantine icons.
