Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Venancio Aragon

I am a Navajo Textile Artist dedicated to preserving and promoting rare and endangered elements of the Navajo weaving repertoire. My signature development is the Expanded Rainbow Aesthetic, in which I utilize over 250 colors of weft yarn dyed with both natural and synthetic compounds. I fuse elements of oral history, archaeological materials and various techniques to create my tapestries.
