$ 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 Suspense 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 the classic black manta that they began to wear in the 1920s at Santa Clara.  It is a more recent time with the telephone poles in the background.  There is still the kiva ladder seen in outline.  Of course, Jason’s signature polychrome raincloud is 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).
