DY Begay
D.Y. Begay is a Navajo, born to the Totsoni’ (Big Water) Clan and born for the Tachinii’ (Red Running into Earth) Clan people. D.Y. is a fifth generation weaver; her unique weaving is handed down through the weavers in her family.
She grew up surrounded by female weavers where she was exposed to herding and shearing sheep, carding and spinning wool, harvesting plants for dyeing and learning to weave in the traditional Navajo fashion.
DY’s tapestries are reflective of the family weaving tradition and use of the unique vegetation she has known since childhood. This spiritual connection to the plants yields the natural colors that are transformed into evocative land formations on her loom.
Many of DY’s interpretative landscape tapestries reflect her Navajo identity and the place of her birth. These weavings encompass her perception of the natural beauty of the land and the descriptive colors of the desert where DY grew up in the high country of the Navajo reservation.
