When the museum reopens, visitors will be welcomed to “A Place in Clay.”
“This exhibition will showcase the work of artist Kathleen Wall (Jemez Pueblo), the museum’s 2020 Native Treasures Living Treasure,” Tapia says. “With techniques passed on from generation to generation, Wall’s art exemplifies the style and beauty of her family’s heritage through her creations.”
Wall has always considered Pueblo pottery to be an essential ingredient in her life.
“Over the last 30 years, I have begun my creative process with the same actions as my mother, my grandmother, and my great grandmother before her,” Wall says. “I dig clay and volcanic ash in the same places that my mother showed me as a young girl. I have created most of my clay figures using traditionally processed clay from here in Jemez Pueblo … where I began.”
