Weaving Is Life: Navajo Weavings from the Edwin L. And Ruth E. Kennedy Southwest Native American Collection

by Jennifer Mclerran (Editor)

This book was born out of a 2005 exhibition at Ohio University's Kennedy Museum of Art displaying Navajo weavings from as many as four generations of artists from four families. Five essays discuss tradition and ethnography, market and community, and principles of art as they apply to contemporary Navajo weaving, also offering perspectives from weavers and educators. Color images are included among the essays, and the second part of the book comprises 19 plates accompanied by artist quotations. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Loaned to me by a guildmate, who thought I should read it. Ironic, as it was mentioned to me a week ago while volunteering in the Nat'l Park. Stay tuned.
