I Want to Weave the Weft of Time (Tessere le Trame del Tempo) explores the skills, patience, and artistry of Sardinia's hand weavers, the tessitori artigianali. Traditional hand weaving, an art which was nearly lost and for many years has been invisible and unvalued, is thriving in the Frongia women’s unique studio. They are among the few who continue to weave by hand in the ancient pibiones tradition. Their art requires great engineering skill, mathematical ability, patience, and physical dexterity. The textiles they create are unparalleled, and a testament to the Frongia’s skill and commitment to preserving this art form. Grazie mille a Isa Frongia, Susanna Frongia, Anna Maria Pirastu e Bruna Cossu. My heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful original musical score goes to composer Ruth Mendelson and Lauren Passarelli, Michael Ripoll Diego, Miguel Rodriguez, Shawn Tubbs, Guitar; Josquin Des Pres, Bass; Tommy Aros, Drums and Percussion; Lucy Pope, Beth Welty, David Siegel, Diego Mondrogan, Violin; Neo, Vocals; Ruth Mendelson, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Keyboards.
