'Weaver' (Guatemala)
Neighbors go about their daily shores in a small Guatemalan village. Carrying a hoe over his shoulder, a man walks homeward past women drawing water from the well and a boy who feeds the chickens and turkey. An older woman kneels beneath a shade tree to weave on a backstrap loom. This is a scene I saw in my own hometown, says artist Bonifacio Maxia Cutzal, who signs his work as Boni. I was on my way home from delivering some paintings when I paused to watch this family at work, and I wanted to share a glimpse of my country. Titled Tejedora in Spanish.
