About the Artist:
Naiomi Glasses is Dine (Navajo) from Rock Point, Arizona which is located on the Navajo Nation. She is a seventh-generation Navajo textile artist who learned the craft of weaving from her paternal grandmother, Nellie, and brother Tyler. Her weavings focus on designs that incorporate stripes and old-style elements such as Saltillo diamonds and four directional crosses. When she is not weaving, she is passionate about caring for the livestock, cattle, sheep, and horses, that her entire extended family collectively cares for. Within recent years, Naiomi uses her current platform to shed light on the positives of Dine life, whether that's through the mediums of modeling, skateboarding, or just being herself.
About the Art:
"Crosses, Saltillo diamonds, and stripes. Those are the fundamental designs I think of when it comes to weaving. With a strong textile background that goes back seven generations, I wanted to translate my favorite elements in rugs onto a pair of mukluks. With Dine, we are taught that everything we do should be done in beauty. Beauty surrounds us, is above us, and below us. When you slip these on, my hope for you is that you may walk in beauty."
Care instructions: Our artist collaborations are printed on painted, delicate, leather. They are not waterproof and should not be worn in muddy slush. Please spray them carefully with high-quality, new, silicon-based spray.
