Náanggwaang hlaa! Play around!
The Yáahl Raven Hatori is designed to be worn over a simple snug garment. Its function is to layer Yáahl X̱yáalas Raven Dancing over your landscape, creating an ephemeral relationship in space and time. Choose one colour as your base and Yáahl, Gúud, Tsai will do the rest!
Hawíit, xyáahl hlaa! Come on, dance!
The story is captured in dye layers on two large pieces of paper until a complete canvas is built: colour, dots, yáahl. The blank hatori is laid out flat on the coloured dot painting which is then wrapped around the front and back to present a continuous landscape beyond hem and seam. Contrast dots are inserted to add a splash of fun, much like the temperament of Yáahl itself. Once pinned in place and heat set, the hatori is unwrapped and the process is repeated with the screened image of Yáahl X̱yáalas Raven Dancing, folded over the Hatori so he dances from your back to your front.
The unwrapping of the hatori always feels like a birthday: anticipation, glee, wonder. The dyes on paper look nothing like the heat pressed results and there are always unexpected surprises. Imperfection is celebrated.
Our goal is to transmit the wonder of this story onto you; the wonder of you. The Yáahl Hatori is nothing without you. Light, no-iron, wash by hand or machine. Crumple and go. Made from roll ends of polyester curtain material.
