#Repost @kuryo_antiques ・・・ Antique Tinguian hand-spun cotton blankets or ules from the uplands of Abra in northern Philippines... Using the centuries-old impaod (backstrap) technique, patterns are usually related to their rituals and come out in dreams... the muted indigo tones were achieved using natural dyes... this particular pattern, the kusikos, though very very very old, is reminiscent of the op-art movement of the 60s, very Victor Vasarely... the optic illusion is meant to ward off evil spirits... #Inabel #ethnicfabric #vasarely #indigo #abelblankets #tinguiantribe #abraantiques #binakul #cottonblanket #philippinetextiles #philippineantiques #kuryo #kuryomanila #kuryoantiques

#SFart Great opening reception @asianartmuseum #filipinoamericanhistorymonth’s thehinabiproject.org Urging everyone to see: “#TheHinabiProject: The Art of #PhilippineTextiles. Part of The 5th Annual Filipino American History Month Celebration. Sep 24. September 24 through October 11 …” ‘Twas especially nice to see exquisite weavings from Aklan. <3 Thanks to #asianartmuseum #PhilippineArtistsandWriters #PhilippineConsulateSF and all supporters.

Seeing the brochure for this exhibit, my cousin (herself, now a great grandma of our 4 generation #SFfamily) recalled how our Lola in Aklan once wove and prepared the piña while working with weavers who set up their looms in the ground floor of our family home (overlooking rice fields of my cover photo :).

(Ha. I took lots of reception photos for folks wearing beautiful piña who said they’d tag me. ;)
