Sometimes, when you’ve been around awhile, you forget everyone has their perspective on time.

One day a couple of years ago, a young man came to the gallery with two lovely Navajo rugs he had inherited from his grandfather. He was curious to learn more about them, and someone told him to ask me.

Since I first began working with Navajo weavers, I have been intrigued by how many ways the same basic pattern can be interpreted. In today’s world, it is easy to see how that happens.
