Sarracino, Myron – Bowl with Swirl Design

9"w x 8.5"h

$ 475.00

Myron is one of the few Laguna potters working today.  He learned to make pottery from Gladys Paquin and creates pieces which are thin walled and tightly painted. The imagery on much of his pottery is derived from pre-historic pottery designs. This bowl is striking with the swirls around the neck.  The body of the piece is painted with an interlocking black and white design which has lighting, rain and figurative elements.  The placement of the imagery and the white areas from base to neck almost give the impression of a puzzle seeking a way from the top to the bottom!  There is a painted “spirit line” on the rim of the bowl.
