Surfing with Helen Bates - April 10, 2006 - Micaceous clay
Nora Naranjo-Morse (Espaņola, NM, USA)

("In the Landscape of the Same" and "Transitions" - installations of
micaceous clay cones and columns) (The artist comes from a prominent
family of Santa Clara Pueblo potters.)
Christine McHorse (Santa Fe, NM, USA)

("[Her] work has an elegance and sophistication that defy stereotypes
about folk art and traditional Native American art.")

(Having grown up off the reservation, Christine McHorse was introduced
to traditional pottery making by her husband's grandmother, Lena
Archuleta, of the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico. Archuleta taught her
daughter-in-law to work with the Pueblo's micaceous clay, but
eventually McHorse added the Navajo pottery tradition to her lexicon
and began to develop her own distinctive approach, combining aspects of
both.)
Greg (Kele) Hardy (Albuquerque NM, USA)
http://www.micaceousclay.com/bio.asp?artist=kele
(Hardy, who apprenticed under Felipe Ortega, known for his micaceous
cookware, uses clay dug from Ortega's ancestral clay pits.) ("Thirty
years ago, micaceous clay was solely used by Native American potters of
the Southwest. Today there is a small but growing number of potters
from very different ethnic bounds pushing the limits of micaceous clay
further and further.") ("The pottery is constructed in the centuries
old practice of "coil and scrape", the traditional method used by
American Indians of the Southwest.")
Robin Hernandez (Washington, DC, USA)
http://www.robinhernandez.com/
(Sticking with the micaceous clay theme, micaceous clay is occasionally
used by this multi-media sculptor who has recently been making work in
clay, particularly "mouth" jars.)

Belleville (hoping for a sunny week for my friends who are having their
century and a half river stone building repointed.)
