Weaver at Backstrap Loom in Almaty Market Hall
by Jeremy Mays
Golden evening light floods the high ceiling of the Almaty market hall, illuminating a weaver seated on a low wooden platform. The artisan wears a dark woven tunic and uses a backstrap loom anchored to a heavy timber beam. Threads of crimson and ochre stretch taut between the wooden frame, catching the warm glow. The polished concrete floor reflects the weaver's silhouette and the hanging lanterns in soft, muted streaks. Early autumn dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of light. Wooden crates stack against the far walls, their surfaces worn smooth by years of use. A spool of indigo thread rests on the weaver's knee, its texture rough against the smooth wood of the loom's shed bar.
