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 and painted with native clay slips.  This piece is part of his  “Tewa Tales of Suspense” series.  Each piece is inspired by graphic novels and early comic book art and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  This tile has the date of “Aug. 1680”, the date of the Pueblo revolt.  Here the Pueblo warrior is striking against a Spanish conquistador.  In the background is one of the Pueblo churches and there is fire around the two men.  Jason’s clouds are always beautifully painted in coloration and subtlety and they always add to the intensity of the piece!   His piece is signed with his Tewa name, Okuu Pin, which means Turtle Mountain.  This tile is hand-built from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay and traditionally fired.
