Story Behind the Art:
Isidoro C'cahuantico was born in a village near Cuzco. During the 1970s he was forced to migrate when terrorist activities swept his region. He found himself working as a janitor in a textile factory. 'I was fascinated with the work they were doing!' Isidoro recalls. 'At night, when everyone had gone home and I was left alone, I began to look at the looms and machines and experiment with them. Some days later, one of the weavers complained that his machine was never the way he'd left it the night before. The owner asked why I was using the loom, and I replied that I wanted to learn to weave. She said that if I really wanted to learn, I should learn to assemble one of the spare looms in the warehouse. That was one of the most important and memorable moments in my life! My two older children work with me, weaving fine alpaca textiles, and my daughter does the best crochet I have ever seen!'

The office in which I work is always cold - even if I wear a sweater, I want another layer. Repeated calls to facilities have just been frustrating and wearing the same windbreaker every day got boring. Why buy cute outfits if all anyone sees is the windbreaker? This shawl was a nice alternative. I can wrap myself up in it and look good and stay warm too. Warm, soft, pretty - and I can even get some work done.
