Harrison Jim learned to make pottery from his mother-in-law Joy “Frogwoman” Navasie. He often collaborated with Marianne Navasie on his pottery. His work combines carved designs with traditional Hopi imagery. This jar is coil built and half of it is carved with a very intricate Morning Singer Katsina. The Katsina is depicted holding an evergreen tree and climbing out of the kiva. What makes Harrison’s work so exceptional is the carving in relief of the imagery. It is as if it has been carved in wood and placed on the clay vessel! As the piece is turned, it slipped white in the style of his mother-in-law, Joy Navasie. The design on the back is a shawl pattern, which is also replicated on the sides of the katsina. The jar is signed on the bottom.
