An unrestrained dance of seduction takes place as the piano player slips into a mad frenzied performance, his hands flailing at the keyboard. The dancer weaves her web and turns to look at her prey, certain of success. This work was featured on the cover of the exhibition catalog “Mattalogo” , held at the Palacio de los Condes de Gabia, Bilbao, 1991.
