Melissa Cody - No Water Mesa, Arizona

"A fourth-generation Navajo weaver and textile artist who melds traditional imagery and symbols with contemporary aesthetics and poetic texts...moving to Los Angeles in 2013 with her partner, whose death shortly thereafter led her to take a break from weaving.

 

When she was ready to return to the loom, Cody began to incorporate text into her woven pieces as a way to process her loss and to reflect on the historical displacement of her people. One piece reads, “Invisible tears in my eyes / Incredible pain in my heart / Indestructible memories all in review / Impossible though things may get / Improbable I will forget." . . .”
