Full Circle 05/13/2013 By Camille Myers Breeze I am off to Peru for 10 days, leaving the studio in Cara's capable hands. This is my first trip back in 4 years, after teaching there every year from 2001-2009. I also spent the first three years of my life in Lima, where my parents were teaching, and then pursuing Doctoral studies.

The author's mother, Dr Sarah MacLennan Kerr, in Chancay, Peru, c 1968.

I've decided to share with you some images that my parents gave me when I chose to write my MA thesis on their collection of pre-Columbian textiles, some of which may be disturbing to readers. The slides depict two separate visit they made to a friend's hacienda near the town of Chancay, about 2 hours drive north of Lima. Chancay lends its name to the culture that lived there during the lateintermediate period, from 1000-1490 A.D. The ceramics in the above photo are typical of Chancay.
