Cagcag Covarrubias.jpg
[example 2]
“Loom (Prabot Tennun),” from Miguel Covarrubias, Island of Bali (New York: Knopf, 1947), p. 3. The process of weaving requires a mechanism to keep the warp taut and a method to create an opening or shed between specific warp threads, through which a shuttle can be passed to create the weft. In a backstrap loom, the weaver’s body is integrated with the loom. The weaver, usually a woman provides the force needed to keep the warp as taut or relaxed as needed, as well as the motion required to lift the string heddles and create the shed. Many of the small gestures that weavers use to create textiles are passed from mother to daughter. Traditionally, the loom was also inherited in this manner, and the weaving blade or beater was emblematic of women’s skill and productivity.
