Folwell, Susan – “Hopi Dreamland” Large Flat Top Jar

8.5"w x 7.75"h

$ 2,400.00

This is a large jar made from micaceous white clay.  The jar has a sloping shape with a VERY flat top.  It is a great shape for design.  The jar is entitled, “Hopi Dreams”.  Susan said was looking a hei-shi necklace with square cut shapes and imagined them larger. They became the geometric background for this surrealist jar.  The top is painted with the squares and even the underside has swirling sky of the falling squares. The Hopi maidens are inspired by a photo by Edward Curtis.  The jar is signed, “Folwell”.

 

 

s signed, “Susan Folwell”.

Susan Folwell

Susan Folwell is one of the exciting innovators in Pueblo pottery.  Her work is native clay and inspired by traditional designs, but she continually experimented with techniques and clays.  Susan is Jody Folwell's daughter and Polly Rose Folwell's sister.  She has won numerous awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Indian Market.  In addition, she has been featured in several books, including "NDN," "Free Spirit," and others. Susan said, "My earliest recollection is that my mother gave me a ball of clay.  I decided I wanted to make a snake.  It was a long, flat tube.  She said it has to have some character if you want people to be interested in it.  I said I thought it had enough character.  She said no, so she bent the tube and made it into an "S," and she pinched the nose.  I cried for an hour as she pinched the nose, and I thought it was now a worm; she swore it was still a snake.  In the end, I was thrilled because it sold for $2.  I was hooked after that."
