This is a creative new tile from Jason Garcia.  Jason has won numerous awards for his works in clay, along with his Pueblo Revolt serigraph series.  This piece is made from native clay, painted with native clay slips, and traditionally fired.  This piece is entitled, “Buffalo Dance I”.  On this piece he has the male Buffalo Dancer at the front painted with colorful clays and detail.  Check out the bottom of the Buffalo Dancer’s kilt with the tiny bells that are so delicately painted!  In the background is the female Buffalo Dancer in shadow.  The background has Santa Clara pueblo and there is Jason’s signature raincloud in the sky.  The coloration on this piece is striking with the clay showing through and the subtle sky.  The motion and power of this piece are exceptional.  His piece is signed with his Tewa name, Okuu Pin, which means Turtle Mountain.
