This latest batch of pottery
has brought us some little gems by some of the younger generation
in Hopi pottery.
This piece represents a good
use of color on a low shoulder seed pot. Her reds are very rich,
and the fire clouds only accentuate the deepness of the color.
As one of the youngest and
most talent Hopi pottery artists of today, Hisi Nampeyo (Camille
Quotskuyva) has really made a name for herself.
She is the daughter of world-famous
Hopi potter Dextra Quotskuyva and has obviously inherited some
of the family skill. Her work ranges from the unique and distinct,
to classic Hopi themes with traditional motifs like the stylized
moths pictured here.
Her work can be found in some
of the most prestigious galleries and discriminating private
collections.
She appears in nearly every
major publication on Hopi-Tewa pottery, including Fourteen
Families in Pueblo Pottery by Rick Dillingham, The Art
of the Hopi by Jerry Jacka, and Hopi-Tewa Pottery: 500
Artists Biographies by Gregory Schaff as well as others.
