I first became interested in textiles when I'd watch my godmother Rosario weaving. She taught me how to weave. I married quite young and, as time went by, my godmother taught my husband and my sisters to weave. In this way, we were able to help her fill orders. After my godmother passed away, me and my husband set up our own weaving workshop with the help of a bank loan. I work with cotton and silk, which I purchase in bulk. My husband helps me dye the fibres, then I carefully warp the loom to keep the sizes as uniform as possible. I like to create sets in different sizes and combine colours in my designs, and this is what I like best about this work. I can freely express my ideas and feelings through the loom. My godmother who was my greatest motivation died in 2013. This is my way of showing my gratitude to the woman who taught me with such love. I want to honour her name by being able to offer jobs to more people."...
