Pink Mountains
"A newlywed couple asked me to weave this for their wedding. I was really into pinks at the time and I loved the colors I was working with - it’s a depiction of the San Francisco peaks in Flagstaff where I was living at the time. I was inspired by landscapes, and I have always loved mountains."

Tyrrell Tapaha is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice is centered around weaving, textiles, and fiber arts. Tyrrell grew up on the Navajo Nation, where intergenerational pastoral living was handed down through their grandfather, great-grandmother, and other relatives. Working as a sheepherder, Tyrrell’s art-making process begins with the raising of sheep and finishes on the loom. Their textiles are made with raw natural animal and plant fibers, hand-spun and hand-dyed with local flora. Tyrrell’s weavings are intimately interwoven with their feelings and memories, illuminating the complexity of their lived experience, the rich history of their community, and imagined futures. Tyrrell continues to live and work in the Four Corners region of Diné Bikeyah.
