an update: i've just come across an interesting article in the New York Times' Style Magazine ("A Tangled Web," 9.24.23) about textile artists, and one of the featured artists is Marie Watt from Portland. Reproduced in the article is an image of a detail from a work of her's titled “Sapling” which is part of Watt’s “Skywalker/ Skyscraper (Twins),” 2020. The article goes on to state that she "...makes towers out of blankets that provide a commentary on life in the Pacific Northwest, including that of Indigenous people. One of her materials is treaty cloth provided by the federal government to the Seneca Nation, of which Watt is a member, as part of the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua signed by George Washington."
