Remembering Richard Enzer 2

Remem­ber­ing Richard Enz­er – Part 2

by Susan­na Starr

Although pret­ty much wild and crazy, Richard was also very charm­ing and con­vinc­ing. There was very lit­tle that could be fur­ther from our minds than enter­ing into a part­ner­ship with him. But Richard was firm­ly con­vinced that he need­ed to devel­op the Line of the Spir­it beyond where it was at the time and that we would be the per­fect part­ners because of our his­to­ry in the vil­lage and rela­tion­ship with the weavers. So, he sweet talked us into it!

After the agree­ment was signed and we were offi­cial­ly part­ners, we left for Mex­i­co and showed up, as agreed, at Richard’s house in the city of Oax­a­ca. A par­ty was going on. We were soon to learn that he always was sur­round­ed by an entourage, most­ly of artists, musi­cians and var­i­ous oth­er assort­ed peo­ple, some Mex­i­can nation­als, some friends from the States and some new friends he would make on a steady basis. Richard was enthu­si­as­tic about hav­ing us stay with him, but we quick­ly real­ized that we would need a place of our own. We would join him in the rounds in the vil­lage each day, but main­tained a life that was a lit­tle less involved with oth­er people.

The time we spent in the vil­lage was won­der­ful and we were intro­duced to var­i­ous peo­ple we had nev­er come in con­tact with before. There was Ser­gio, the art direc­tor, hand­some and tal­ent­ed and from the vil­lage. Meet­ing him and his fam­i­ly was a spe­cial expe­ri­ence and we were to spend much time in the fol­low­ing few years togeth­er. The weavers who were part of the Line of the Spir­it were very enthu­si­as­tic about the work they were doing with Richard and rec­og­nized that they would be involved in an entire­ly new art project that was care­ful­ly over­seen by Ser­gio with lots of direct input by Richard, which they real­ly appre­ci­at­ed. Although they hadn’t known us pre­vi­ous­ly, they knew who we were and wel­comed us into their homes with warmth and hospitality.

The team also includ­ed Miri­am, a love­ly young woman who quick­ly became a friend. She was the liai­son per­son who han­dled all the mon­ey as well as dis­trib­ut­ing what was need­ed to the weavers work­ing on the project. And then there was Alta Gra­cia, the dye-mak­er. Richard had spent quite a lot of time work­ing with her with his sleeves rolled up, at the dye-pots. She was an impor­tant part of the team since the vibrant col­ors that she hand-mixed over an open fire were a cor­ner­stone of the Line of the Spir­it weav­ing collection.

Those were excit­ing and intense days, weeks and months we spent togeth­er with Richard and all the var­i­ous peo­ple in our cir­cle. Every day we would pick up Miri­am and go to Sergio’s house where his wife, Thomasa would be stir­ring a pot of atole or cof­fee and feed­ing the babies. Then we’d make the rounds. That meant vis­it­ing each and every weaver work­ing on the Line of the Spir­it project, spend­ing time with them as they worked on the loom, going over the designs and the col­ors to be used. It was an amaz­ing and inspir­ing time, and we would often return to Oax­a­ca after dark, exhaust­ed but elat­ed. Richard exud­ed ener­gy and it was hard for him to stop and call it a day when he was in the rhythm of work­ing with the weavers. We would also spend part of the day with Alta, dis­cussing the dyes and the nuances of the col­ors. She was a con­sum­mate artist at the dye pots.

Every­one loved Richard, his enthu­si­asm, his will­ing­ness to work with each of them, impart­ing his vision to them and appre­ci­at­ing his plea­sure with what they were pro­duc­ing. When pieces would come off the loom, they would be car­ried back to Richard’s house where we would exam­ine each weav­ing, inspect­ing and admir­ing them. There was always an inti­mate con­nec­tion between us, the team of Ser­gio, Miri­am and Alta and, of course, the indi­vid­ual weavers and their fam­i­lies, includ­ing the chil­dren who seemed to delight in our vis­its. Now, twen­ty years lat­er, many of the orig­i­nal weavers are still work­ing on the Line of the Spir­it and some of those chil­dren have joined the project, hav­ing become excel­lent weavers in their own right.
