04 Greenfield
Victoria de Jesus Ramirez weaves a reboso, or shawl, on the traditional Triqui belt loom at her home in Greenfield, while her son Miguel looks over her shoulder. The Ramirez family are immigrants from Rio Venado, Oaxaca. Victoria and her husband Miguel work as farm workers during nine months, and Victoria weaves during the months of no work, in order to make up for no income.
