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 “Fall 1598”, is during the reconquest of New Mexico by the Spanish after the Pueblo Revolt.  Here the Pueblo warrior is fighting with a conquistador.  There is great motion and movement in the figures and strong coloration!  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.
