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.

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
Navajo Ceremonial Baskets
The Navajo
wedding basket also reflects many values of traditional life and so often contains
all six sacred mountains, including Huerfano and Gobernador Knob, though the size
of the basket may determine the numher of mountains in the design. The center
spot in the basket represents the beginning of this world, where the Navajo people
emerged from a reed? More about this legend
