Vocabulary –

Tapestry - is a form of textile art,

traditionally woven on a vertical loom. Tapestry
is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads
are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth
weaving where both the warp and the weft threads
may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are
typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each
coloured weft back and forth in its own small
pattern area.

the past to build the present;” linking cultures, places, times and
events in an attempt to find the balance between the
conveniences of modernism and the wisdom of indigenous living.

Bienvenido "Bones" Bañez Jr
-Surrealist
-according to world-famous surreal/visionary American artist
Terrance Lindall, the “greatest living surrealist from the
Philippines.
-Bañez’s art revolves around the reign of evil in the world,
which he likes to refer to as 666. To Bañez, the perpetrators
of wars, poverty, injustice, environmental degradation,
cultural decadence, and terrorism—are already the
incarnates of 666; no need to look further, or make
paranormal theories and computatons. Evil is here, doom is
close by. And Bañez expresses all these in a kaleidoscope of
psychedelic human and sub-human figures as "translucent
images and luminosities swirling, shimmering, or
disintegrating in a world bereft of gravity."
