It may indeed be suggested that it is Fu Yabing and her art
that is unconnected to the relevant order of things. They
have been loosened free from their old coordinates in both
nature and culture. Living in radically different
circumstances from her arboreal birthplace, among a
people who in that past engaged in precise reciprocal
instead of market relations, she carries on with an exquisite
tradition that at present grafts poorly with the cast economy.
But she has always face the disjunct between systems by
deploying her gift: the expert making of fine warp ikat
textiles.
ESTELITA BANTILAN – October 17, 1940
85 years old, is one of the Philippine’s treasured national
