Marie Watt: Blanket Stories: Almanac

0/5 ( ratings)

Ms. Watt s medium for the past several years has been wool: specifically, second-hand wool blankets scrounged from thrift stores. The blanket, of course, is a potent symbol for the history of Anglo-Native relations, but in Ms. Watt s hands it is more than that. She sees blankets as markers of the private histories of all peoples: we all carry memories of a favorite blanket; moth-holes, cigarette burns, patterns of wear on the binding become a map of experience. We opened and closed Almanac with details of blankets pulled from Ms. Watt s stock to give the reader a sense of the material made image, and to acclimate him to the narrow color range the blankets impose.
