Studies for Winter Stories in Springtime is a series of snow white pages with a hint of a needle stitch. In the spring 2015 the artists came to Santa Fe to investigate a local tradition and create work around it. They chose the myth of the Spider Woman of Navajo carpet weavers but were told by the weavers that their weaving can’t be discussed till the winter, when the spiders are hibernating. The resulting work is a conceptual interpretation of questions left without answer.
