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 |

Snakes
In this same
version Monster Slayer administers Witch Medicine to participants in the ceremony;
snake is naked and has no place to put the medicine so he puts it in his mouth
for safe keeping, and that is why snakes are poisonous. 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
