About the artist:
Inspired by dreams, Lorraine Black's skills have literally elevated basket weaving to new dimensions. Lorraine Black's infectious laugh belies the serious magic her hands conjure up when weaving a basket. Unprecedented in her ideas, Lorraine's baskets are innovative and beautiful. Many of them make good use of texture through over-stitching and the addition of objects such as flint arrowheads or horsehair. See full biography |

Sheep
The gods,
of course, had had the animals from the beginning of time. When they arranged
the world and planned the pattern of hte stars in the sky, they first laid the
glittering objects out on a sheepskin. The Sun, father of the war gods, possessed
a flock of sheep in four colors. The beautiful and human myth of the Shooting
Chant tells how he offered these to his twin children when they had sought and
found him. More about this legend
Basketry
Basketry
is a woman's industry, which is also pursued by the nadle (he changes), hermaphrodites,
or men skilled in the arts and industries of both men and women. Basketry, however,
is not classified with textile fabrics (yistl'o), but with sewing (nalkhad). It
is of interest also that, while the basket is in progress, the sewer is untouched
and avoided by the members of her family? More about this legend
