20 CESTA LUNAR 80 2004, linen, gesso, acrylic paint & gold-leaf; 120x118 cm, artist´s collection. “In Peru I had the chance to visit weavers in their dark huts, weaving marvelous, complexly-structured cloth with dense and perfect colors. In the darkness I tried to speak with one of them but it was impossible. Her silent inscrutable face, in addition to the Quechua language, were formidable obstacles. However, her intelligent hands were eloquent enough for me.” 4
