Textile showing a narrative built using coloured hand-embroidered cross-stitching on a metre-squared piece of white linen. The embroidery is confined to a hexagon shape at the centre of the fabric. The narrative works around the cloth, beginning with a depiction of the sowing of maize in a Yucatecan milpa (maize field) when Veronica (the maker) is a child. The milpa is shown, as is Veronica with her grandfather. They kneel before an altar upon which 9 maize kernels are placed. The later scenes show the embroiderer in her house eating with her family, they show her learning to embroider with machine. The connecting images are of birds and floral patterns typically used for traditional dress (the textiles Veronica’s mother is teaching her to make). The final scene shows a religious procession in Abala. In the background are adverts on the walls of Abala, showing the emblem of the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional).
