Katoney, Marlowe – “Sign of the Times” Pictorial Weaving (27″ x 39″), 2025
27" x 39"
ON HOLD - $20,000
Marlow Katoney is an exceptional Navajo weaver. His weavings have been featured in numerous museum exhibits along with being the recipient of a fellowship at SAR. His weaving transcends the traditional regional styles. He creates pieces inspired by stories of his own life, yet with a connection to the traditional design elements and traditional weaving techniques of Navajo rugs. We are very pleased to represent his new work at our galleries in Santa Fe and Scottsdale.
This piece is entitled “Sign of the Times”. It takes much of its style and dramatic coloration from Germantown and Pictoral Rugs. The piece is woven with the incongruence of the banana and a rather amazing umbrella (check out the shadow!!). The weaving is a larger one that is fun and fanciful with hits to traditional styles. The piece is signed into the weaving with his “zhong” character. It is a striking and creative piece that certainly captures Marlowe’s narrative in weaving.
