  • Tapestry—“A Piece of Thick Textile Fabric with Pictures Or Designs Formed by Weaving Colored Weft Threads Or by Like the Like
    Foreword Tapestry—“a piece of thick textile fabric with pictures or designs formed by weaving colored weft threads or by Like the Like Foreword Like the ceramics of Chuck and Fulden Wissinger, which shape and give life to the raw materials of nature, experience, and the imagination, the contributions of this second volume of Tapestry create art from the raw facts of life. Touchingly beautiful, the pieces in this volume sometimes lay bare the hurts of the heart, the daunting search for personhood, the aching desire for belonging in a place and a nation that are not always kind. Finding strength in heroic and pioneering women, in families who worked to better themselves, women who faced personal challenges, the authors find hope for themselves and the future. Weaving together photographs and stories of the past with the fresh voices of today, the contributions tie generations together and illustrate the continuity of life. Through the variety of art forms—ceramics, painting, poetry, fiction, ethnographies, even recipes—the selections piece together a view of life in South Texas and convert it into an art, an aesthetics that nurtures us. We find ourselves in the mix of stories, in the ceramic collages and the tapestry of works that delight, surprise, sadden, and inspire us, in works that reflect the complexity of life.
