$ 1,200.00

Jason Garcia is known for his creative clay tiles that incorporate scenes from Santa Clara Pueblo and the Pueblo world.  Years ago, Jason began his career making tiles based on various Saints and is famous for both his Corn Maiden and Tewa Tales of Suspsense Series.  This piece is entitled, “Back in Time”.  It has a Corn Maiden sitting next to a Delorean.  Jason said in this piece she is depicted wearing an earlier cotton dress and shawl for the Pueblo Dance.  In the background is the kiva and his signature polychrome raincloud in the sky.  This is a signature on much of Jason’s work.   The tile is made from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay, which is traditionally fired. It is signed on the back “Okuu Pin” which is Jason’s name in Tewa (which means Turtle Mountain).
