Peru’s David Laura Zanabria aptly calls his spectacular tapestry “Childhood Dream” because it expresses “my first impressions in the arts and crafts when I was around ten.

It is an entry into a timeless reality triggered by a childhood memory.” The captivating tapestry is hand-woven from wool in a cotton warp and exudes a contemporary style that will make it an instant centerpiece.
