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 |

Fire God
Fire God:
Deity symbol for Man's use of fire. In the Navajo creation stories, Fire God overpowers
the deities who rule water. This may be seen as Man's ability to use nature in
a positive way rather than be ruled by it? More about this legend
Fire
Fire also
figures ceremonially, and is then sometimes referred to as "the pokers,"
from the leading feature of placing pokers at the cardinal points around the fire.
Heaps of firewood are placed at each side of the entrance inside the hogan, which
is then closed with an additional blanket hanging in front of the ordinary blanket
curtain? 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
