New Native American weavings are fascinating to behold for the cultural significance they embody as well as their bold, geometric designs incorporating fine natural pigments. Filled with more than 100 color photographs, this book presents striking images of southwestern landscapes juxtaposed on the page with exceptional examples of woven rugs and blankets. The text melds Hopi legend with historical fact to reveal spiritual connections between ancient cliff dwellings, modern pueblos, and contemporary Navajo weavers, who continue to draw inspiration from the surrounding sky, water, and desert vista. Additional commentary glimpses the natural forces responsible for creating awe-inspiring rock formations and canyons and the evolving traditions of artisans who create pottery and jewelry as well as weavings.
