Margaret Cody is one of today's most innovative weavers. Daughter of a Navajo medicine man, Margaret is equally comfortable in both the traditional and modern worlds. This duality is clearly reflected in her weavings. Her designs are original, unique, and daring, yet her technique is very traditional.

Margaret learned from her mother, Dorothy Cody (who is still weaving in her nineties), the art and talent of hand-dyeing homespun wool to create an original work of art. In the history of Navajo weaving, nothing is more traditional. The contemporary forms that her weavings take, on the other hand, are completely unique to Margaret. Her subject matter ranges from depictions of traditional Navajo ceremonies, to the unexplainable, mysterious world of skinwalkers, to modern geometric patterns featuring outrageous color combinations.

While many weavers are comfortable with the tried-and-true, Margaret is one weaver who is willing to take creative risks in order to weave a world of her own.
