Peggy Rock Black has drawn inspiration from her Native legends and culture to weave a grouping of snapshots within her textural art form. Her "Collage" basket contains images representing legend, life ways, and ceremonialism and Navajo history all packed into one fantastic package. It is significant that Peggy places such important aspects of her people into her baskets in order to spark interest and open a dialogue to those issues on her mind and close to her heart. There are less than one hundred Navajo basket weavers left producing their craft these days and few are in the league of Peggy Rock-Black.
