Inspired by Nilda Callanaupa Alvarez’s ‘Weaving in the Peruvian Highlands: Dreaming Patterns, Weaving Memories’

“The warp must be strong to be held under high tension during the weaving process, unlike the weft which carries almost no tension.

Many South American cultures, including the ancient Incas and Aymaras, employed backstrap weaving, which uses the weight of the weaver's body to control the tension of the loom.”
