LAUREL, MS.- The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art presents today Trees in a Circle: Navajo Weavings of Teec Nos Pos, on view through November 14, 2004. Trees in a Circle: Navajo Weavings of the Teec Nos Pos, organized by the Farmington Museum in Farmington, New Mexico, showcases 31 of the finest examples of the Teec Nos Pos weaving style, from its beginnings in the late 19th century through today. Teec Nos Pos textiles utilize bold intricate geometric designs which are saturated with color. Teec Nos Pos weavers often weave larger works than their Navajo neighbors, and generally compose symmetrical designs and a complex design system of outlined images.  These types of weavings are typically made in the Northeast region of the Navajo Reservation near the trading post, but weavers from as far away as Mexican Water, Arizona and Beclabito, New Mexico have worked in the Teec Nos Pos style. The earlier textiles are more muted in color than the contemporary works, reflecting increased access to bright commercial dyes.  However, the definitive patterning and style of Teec Nos Pos is evident in all of the works.
