Prestige Cloth Using some warps acquired from the late Glory Koehler combined with my own indigo ikat and black and white threads, I created this piece based on African strip weaving in her honor. Cotton and indigo dyed ikat, supplemental weft, 3 assembled strips. 45″ x 55″. 2005. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d7161729687f67b6434fa5/1474327911189-PRW0K7EBCH9CRUJXL7UP/power-garments-ancestor-coat.jpg Power Garments - Ancestor Coat Ancestor Coat is based on the ancient bog coat found in prehistoric Northern European sites. This piece won the Juror’s Award at By the Hand, National Juried Exhibition, Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek, CA. 2006. Handwoven silk, indigo shibori dyed, stitched. 45″ x 32″. 2004. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d7161729687f67b6434fa5/1474327916371-M13J2WBYWYFBZCSJJ0UN/power-garments-memory-dance.jpg Power Garments - Memory Dance Memory Dance is based on the Plains Indians’ war shirts. I looked at dozens of images of these shirts and did a very personal response to them. I worked in handwoven silk with ikat, paint, and shibori for aging and beads. I chose to work at about ¾ actual size to emphasize that this was a piece of artwork and not an actual artifact. Handwoven silk, ikat, supplemental weft, card weaving, shibori, paint and beads. 47″x40″. 1999.

The shirts are worn by only one man and grow as he gains knowledge and overcomes adversity. The leather amulets contain secret power known only to the bearer, and indeed there are secret things in the amulets I made as well. As he adds animal parts, amulets and secret treasures, his shirt becomes a repository of the hunter’s ability to survive and a reflection of his prowess.
