 Marie Watt at the Institute of American Indian Arts Museum.(her works being criticised) - Encyclopedia.com
In its impressive ascent, one of the stacks assumes a dancing, serpentine pose; the bodily associations are evocative, as are allusions to Native-American culture--specifically, the importance of the woven blanket as an object of status and trade, or sale to whites.
But Watt's blankets are all ordinary plaids, stripes or solids, with borders of satin, selvage or fringe.
Watt thinks of her stacks as ladders linking the earthly and the celestial; another rich metaphor is her concept of blanket as mnemonic text, underscored by titular references to ledgers and almanacs.

 RAs push to unionize - News
Watt, who feels that the union would be beneficial, claimed that the RAs get paid for only twenty hours a week of work, despite the fact that many are there for their residents at all times and are therefore working more than those hours.
Watt argued that amount of money taken out for room and board was not an adequate benefit and that RAs needed to see more money allotted in their paychecks.
Watt also felt that the committee did not represent the rights of the RAs at the University in an ethical and fair manner.

 ‘Dwelling’ Exhibition at Adrich Contemporary Art Museum - New York Times
Marie Watt, an artist from Portland, Ore., who likes to say she is “part cowboy and part Indian” because of the Seneca Indians on her mother’s side and the Wyoming ranchers on her father’s, has incorporated that blanket and more than 1,000 others into an eight-foot-high installation in a second-floor gallery.
Watt’s collaboration with the donors, the museum and at least 100 local residents who volunteered to sew trim on the blankets is now on view with the work of nine other artists, four of whom have American Indian ancestry.
Watt has stacked blankets into ladderlike columns, braided patches of blankets into geometric swirls and created animated wall hangings by using the satin finish that often binds blankets as freely as Mondrian used stripes.

The trial court granted the motion, rejecting Eubank's argument that his claim to title was superior because plaintiff’s land contract had not been recorded at the time he received and recorded his quitclaim deeds.
The trial court found, and Eubank does not dispute on appeal, that the quitclaim deeds executed by Walk and Watt conveyed a vendor's interest in a land contract because that was the interest that each held.
Because Eubank had notice of plaintiff's interest in the property, the lack of a recorded land contract notwithstanding, he was not a good-faith purchaser against whom the land contract would be void.
