Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Cordelia Begay

The materials and techniques used to create my textile work includes commercial wool of colors purchased from traders and vendors within the border town of the Four Corners area. The warp used in my textiles are sheep wool that I spun from my herd. My loom is a tritonal loom set up. The set up is all the traditional way of how hundreds of Navajo women carried the talents and skills. The weaving is done vertical from start to finish.
