Stacey Carr (Laguna) learned to make pottery from his ex-wife and her parents.  Each piece is coil-built using native red-colored clay.  This coloration for the vessels is dynamic and creates strong visual contrasts with the black painted wild spinach.  This jar has a round body and a turned-out rim.  It is painted with a swirling lightning pattern that extends from the rim to the shoulder.  The jar is signed on the bottom, ‘S. Carr”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
