It’s great to have a 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 part of his  “Tewa Tales of Suspense” series.  Each piece is inspired by graphic novels, early comic book art, and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  The piece has “Taandi 1694” as the date, meaning Spring (in Tewa) 1694.  While 1680 was the Pueblo Revolt, 1694 was the Reconquest.  Here, Jason has the Pueblo warrior casting down a Conquistador from a cliff.  There are additional conquistadors and warriors in the background.  The flames and clouds are always a signature to his pieces!  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 signature raincloud is in the upper right.  His piece is signed with his Tewa name, Okuu Pin, which means Turtle Mountain.  The last photo is one of the piece being fired.
