The exhibition focused on Hopi weaver, Ramona Sakiestewa’s work and included traditional, contemporary, and commissioned pieces. The initial concept for the exhibit came from Ramona Sakiestewa, herself and envisioned the exhibit design simply as a “tour through her studio”. Sakiestewa’s incorporated images, work tools, and artifacts that demonstrated how an edition of weaving is first inspired, rendered, and finally how it evolves as one in a numbered series. The exhibit was ordered in chronological sequence.
