Tyrrell Tapaha is a sixth generation Diné weaver, fiber artist, and sheep herder from Goat Springs, AZ. Their work encompasses the intergenerational pastoral living handed down through Tapaha’s grandfather, great-grandmother, and other relatives willing to teach. Tapaha produces woven tectiles and felted objects for both aesthetic and utilitarian uses. These textiles are made from raw natural fibers predominately grown on the Navajo Nation and hand-dyed with local flora from the Four Corners Region. Tapaha’s weavings are tied to a life lived and intimately interwoven with feelings, memories, and experiences.
