Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Jeff Benally

I use a traditional Navajo vertical loom, using tools passed on to me by my grandmother and mother. Using naturally dyed handspun, commercially dyed, and natural colored sheep wool, I weave various styles of rugs, including Klagetoh, Ganado Reds, Two Gray Hills, Wide Ruins, and Chiefs Blankets.
