Last week I posted about attending the opening of a new exhibit at the Heard Museum called "Twilight: Trading Posts and Creative Legacies". In that post I had a photo of two beautiful weavings. Today I'm posting a few more from that show. The one above was a favorite of mine. It's a pictorial weaving called "Inside the Trading Post" and it was created by Louise Yazzie Nez. There are so many things to be seen in this weaving. On the second floor, there is a man showing a weaving to customers. To the left is another man, looking out the window to check on his horse. On the ground level you can see children playing in front of the counter stocked with supplies. So many details.
To the left a guest was admiring a textile by Emily Malone. It's called "Burntwater Ye'ii". A Ye'ii describes a minor spirit or a holy person.
This last one was created by Sarah Paul Begay. She was inspired by designs she saw in the J. B. Moore sample catalog. She created a textile showing a variety of different designs all in one piece. It kind of makes my brain hurt to try think of how she created all those overlapping designs woven into one piece.
