From Thought to reality.
It is my mission to capture history stories and archaeology to create modern art so these ancient arts does not Fade Away into only museums and books. While using my art to teach the next generation southwestern indigenous weavers, the Lost history and weavings of our ancestors. Through visits to Museums like SARS, Wheelwright and a collection of out of print papers I’ve collected, I’ve have started to rebuild a timeline of weaving technology and techniques of the last 2000 years. A new narrative emerges that reaffirms a collective existence between the ancestors of the tribes of the southwest
To forge a narrative that transcends culture language and geographic hurdles that weaving techniques in the indigenous Americas are fluid and widely dispersed despite what tradional western anthropology teaches. Weaver can learn and share to restore and further their cultural knowledge as I feel the Spider clan did truly travel and teach to whoever would listen and take up the spindle and build a loom. I weave examples of past techniques and experiments on how to with rationality and oral tradition to answer the questions posed with every new project.
