When she started out her patterns were simple. Over time they grew dramatic asthough inspired by unseen hands.
Some young Native weavers today are asked to go outside amid the early morning dewand search for a spider s web. As the first light of day glistens through thestrands they re told to place their right hand on the webbing.
