Twenty-some-odd years ago, before she became recognized for her geometric creativity, Joann Johnson was known for weaving superior ceremonial baskets. Her stitch, as now, was close and tight; her design symmetry exceptional. This double ceremonial is a great example of what Joann was producing at that time. Through the years, Joann’s basket has taken on a beautiful golden patina that many basket weavers call being “kissed by the Sun.” The years have been good to this basket.
About the artist:
A fourth generation Navajo basket weaver, Joann Johnson has a passionate awareness of her heritage and history. Born and raised in Monument Valley, she has spent her life in the Navajo heartland, surrounded by the sacred mountains and monuments that tell the stories of her people's past.
