Thispassageon Navajo sandpaintingwaspublished in 1989bya scholarofNavajotraditionswhowas tryingto interpretthemfor non-Navajo readers. Sandpaintingsaremade by trickling fine, multi- coloredsandsonto a baseof neutral-coloredsand. We cannotfully appreciatesomeNative Americanobjectswe considerart without also appreciatingthe cDntextsin which theyarepro- duced.When our understandingof art is heavily focusedon objects,we tendto look in the wrong placefor art.We find only the leavingsor by- productsof a creativeprocess. The concernsI havearedeepenedas I beginto comparehow we, as outsiders,view sandpaintings withhow the Navajoview them, evenjust from a physicalperspective.Let me list severalpoints of comparison.We haveonly representationsof sand- paintingsdrawnor paintedon paperor canvas, whichwe enjoyas objectsof art.The Navajo strictlyforbidmakingrepresentationsof sand- paintings,andtheyareneverkept as aesthetic objects.Even theuse of figuresfrom sandpaintings in thesand-gluecrafthasnot met with the approval ofmostNavajotraditionalists.Sandpaintingsmust bedestroyedby sundownon the daytheyaremade. Theyarenot aestheticobjects;they areinstruments ofa ritual process.The sandpaintingrite is a rite of re-creationin which a personin needof healingis symbolicallyremadein a way correspondingto his orherailment.This personsits at the centerof the verylargepaintingandidentifieswith the images depicted,experiencingthe complexityandthe diversity,the dynamicsandthe tension,represented in thesurroundingpainting.The illness is overcome whenthe personrealizesthat thesetensionsand oppositionscanbebalancedin a unity that signifies goodhealthandbeauty. In termsof visual perspective,we traditionally viewsandpaintingfrom a position as if we were I directlyaboveandat sucha distancethat the whole paintingis immediatelygraspable,with eachside equidistantfromoureyes.This viewis completely impossiblefortheNavajo..I gota laughwhenI askedsomeNavajoif anyoneeverclimbedonthe I roofofahogan* to lookatasandpaintingthrough thesmokehole.Whenapainting6 feetin diameter, orevenlarger,is constructedonthefloorofahogan only20feetin diameter,theperspectivefromthe peripheryis alwaysatanacuteangleto thesurface. I Asandpaintingcannotbeeasilyseenasawhole. Themostimportantpointofviewis thatof the personforwhomthepaintingis made,andthis personseesthepaintingfromtheinsideoutbecause he or shesits in themiddleof it. Thesedifferences (50)arebasicandcannotbe dismissed.The traditional Navajoview is inseparablefrom the significance that sandpaintinghasfor the Navajo. I think ~e cansaythat for the Navajothe sand- paintingis not the intendedproductof the creative (55)processin which it is constructed.The productis a healthyhumanbeingor the re-creationof a v,reH- orderedworld. The sandpaintingis but an instru- ment for the creativeact,andperhapsit thewis- dom of the Navajo that it be destroyedin useso (60)that the obviousaestheticvalueof the instrument doesnot supplantthe humanandcosmicconcern. The confinementof our attentionto the reproduc- tion of sandpaintingsis somewhatanalogousto hangingpaint-coveredartists'paletteson the wall (65)to admire,not acknowledgingthat thesepigment- coveredboardsarenot paintingsbut the meansto createthem.There is a certainaestheticvaluein artists'palettes,I suppose,but surelymost would think of this actionas foolishly missingthe point.
