XX [From the inner flaps] "To speak of today's textile weavers in Mexico is to celebrate the artists of Teotitlán del Valle in the valley of Oaxaca. Teotitlán's lineage as an important center for Zapotec culture reaches back two thousand years, and its blanket-weaving tradition to the earliest days of the colonial period. As far back as 500 B.C., Teotitlán's weavers used cotton yarn and the backstrap tension loom to make textiles for trade. The Spanish introduced wool yarns and the fixed-frame pedal loom of a type still in use today. The Mexican revolution saw a celebration of indigenous crafts, and the opening of the Pan-American Highway in 1948 brought Teotitlán's weavers to the craft markets of Oaxaca. American importers in the 1970s infused textile production with new energy, resulting in today's dizzying variety of works that range from modernist motifs to Navajo geometrics to ancient and historical patterns reprised in vivid and colorful contemporary designs. Zapotec weavers express their sense of well-being and belonging in what they weave, and the tapestries and rugs that are currently produced reconcile ancient history with the ways of the twenty-first century marketplace." XX "Andra Fischgrund Stanton is a psychiatric social worker with a passion for ethnic art and handicrafts. After many years as a collector she opened a shop in Massachusetts that showcases the textiles of Teotitlán del Valle. She travels to the village several times each year and has enjoyed many opportunities to come to know the weavers and their families. Her enthusiasm for Teotiteco artistry and culture has provided the impetus for speaking engagements in schools, museums, and cultural centers throughout New England. The work of photographer Jaye R. Phillips has been widely exhibited in the U.S., including shows at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, and the California Museum of Art in Santa Rosa. Her work is in the permanent collections of Harvard University's Theater Arts Collection and the Polaroid Collection. She is an official photographer for the Boston Ballet, a position she has held for the past fourteen years.
