Native American Baskets Rain Scott Acoma Style Origami

Rain Scott, from Acoma Pueblo, makes baskets from folded paper, origami style. While his technique is new and innovative, he pays tribute to the traditions of his people both in form (olla) and in design.

“The vessel features Acoma florals that were popular in the 1940s and 1950s. The vines/stems of the flowers connect to the one next to it and one single leaf protrudes from the side of the flower. The black and white base design is inspired by Tohono O’odham basket designs symbolizing a water wave.

The combination of these two design elements tells a story of the vegetation and flowers that grow along the edge of waterways and streams. My interpretation was the union of two different tribes and their cultures when my older sister (Acoma) married my brother in-law- from the Gila River Community.”

– Rain Scott

In the center of the base is a floral blossom shape that protrudes into the vase – a beautiful addition to the floral theme of the vessel.

Note: the folded paper, made from card stock, creates a rigid form, so this vessel will keep its shape and should allay any concerns about fragility of the vessel.

Basket is 10  inches highin diameter at its widest x 5 3/4 inches high
