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 | See all items by Lorraine Black

Coyote Woman
A long ago there lived a Coyote Lady who was the sister of twelve divine brothers. She had many handsome suitors but none could win her
One day Ma-i, the Coyote, thought he would see if the stories of her beauty were true. So he trotted across hills and valleys to her hogan. When he saw her his eyes grew large and he said without thinking. "What must I do to win your paw?"? 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
