Summary
"I have my heart in my mouth is the story of an artist sitting and working on a fabric, when suddenly a large spider crawls out of the fabric. The artist, who is terribly afraid of spiders, is about to kill the animal with a shoe when she thinks of Louise Bourgeois' huge spider sculptures bearing the name Maman. Maman refers to Bourgoeis' own mother who was a weaver, and her spiders therefore symbolize the ultimate security and collection of all ends that both a mother and a spider can exercise. With this new image in mind, the artist changes his plan, overcomes his fears, and gives the spider a loving treatment."--Publisher's website.
