While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Melissa Cody is a Diné (Navajo) textile artist known for blending traditional Diné designs (stripes, zigzags, and diamond patterns) with nontraditional elements.
- Cody's work incorporates arrangements of shapes or text inspired by video game graphics and pop culture references.
- Cody: "I'm a child of '80s video game culture...I grew up with this world of pixelization."
- Cody: "The things we consider tradition now weren't considered tradition when they first came about."
- Her tapestry Rainbow Road features words in a blocky digital font surrounded by a pattern of colored diamonds.
- Her tapestry Lightning Storm features a blank column of undyed wool next to a blue zigzag stripe.
