SUMMARY:A Celebration of Diné Textiles with Melissa Cody
DESCRIPTION:The Fine Arts Center recently received a generous gift of 19th and early 20th century textiles by Diné weavers. Help us welcome these remarkable works into our care. View a selection of textiles in the Agents of Care gallery and enjoy a reading by CC Professor of English Natanya Ann Pulley and a talk by visiting artist Melissa Cody\, a fourth-generation Navajo weaver\, who will reflect on these textiles as well as her current works. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nRSVPs are requested \nAbout Melissa Cody\nBorn 1983 in Arizona\, Melissa S. Cody is a member of the Navajo Nation. In 2005\, she received a Bachelor’s degree in Museum Studies and AFA in Studio Art from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. \nA fourth-generation Navajo weaver\, Cody’s intricate tapestries are often associated with the weaving style that distinguish a complex interaction of the traditional and historical Germantown Revival. This stylistic movement is named after the government wool from Germantown\, Pennsylvania that was rationed to the Navajo during the time of the Long Walk. Traditional vegetal dyes were supplemented with the commercially dyed wool\, prompting new economic pressures for the Navajo to enterprise and adapt on. This created new bold textiles\, with a commercial viability that meant the practice could continue and thrive despite the alterations. \nCody’s work is a balance of tradition\, history and the contemporary. Working on a traditional Navajo loom\, Cody fuses classical patterns into intricate geometric overlays and tantalizing colorways. She transforms motifs of bright Germantown wools into dreamscapes where deeper connections and hourglass spiders can roam. The viewer’s eyes travel through spinning whirling logs and encapsulated squares of 2 and 3-ply wool\, creating various forms of (mis)direction and subversion. Cody is creating and redefining the tactile surface\, establishing the limitless nature of her storytelling through warp and weft. \nMelissa Cody’s work has been featured in many museums and galleries\, such as: the Stark Museum of Art (2014\, Orange\, Texas); Museum of Contemporary Native Arts\, Institute of American Indian Arts (2017–2018\, Santa Fe); Ingham Chapman Gallery\, University of New Mexico (2018\, Albuquerque); Navajo Nation Museum (2018); SITE (2018–2019\, Santa Fe); MASS Gallery (2019\, Austin); Heard Museum (2019\, Phoenix); Exploratorium (2019\, San Francisco); Museum of Northern Arizona (2019\, Flagstaff); National Gallery of Canada (2019–2020\, Ottawa)\, Art Basel Miami (2019\,2021\, Miami) Museum of Art of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (2023\, Brazil)\, and PS1 MOMA (2024\, NYC).Her works are featured in a number of museum collections\, including those of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts\, The Autry Museum of the American West\, and the Stark Museum of Art\, Orange\, Texas. \nAbout Natanya Ann Pulley\nNatanya Ann Pulley is a Diné writer (Kinyaa’áani and Táchii’nii clans).
