No art form is more closely associated with the Native Americans of the Southwest than pottery. For centuries, the Pueblo people have crafted beautiful pottery, often adorned with intricate designs, for a variety of everyday activities such as cooking, food storage, and water gathering, as well as for ceremonial purposes. Vessels of these types have been discovered at ancient sites, including Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde. The tradition of pottery-making continues to thrive among Pueblo communities in the Southwest, and while pottery is still made for practical purposes, it is also commonly produced for the art market. Since the time of the Ancestral Puebloans, pottery has been predominantly made by women. The pots are created from natural clay using a coil method; they are hand-painted and then fired outdoors. Designs vary from one Pueblo to another, but many symbols and motifs are shared by the Pueblos.
An impressive survey of more than 100 pieces of historic Pueblo pottery, Grounded in Clay, is remarkable for the fact that its content has been selected by Pueblo community members. Rather than relying on Anglo-American art historical interpretations, this book prioritizes Native American voices and perspectives. More than 60 participants from 21 Pueblo communities in the Southwest, including potters and other artists, as well as writers, curators, and community leaders, chose one or two pieces from the collections of the Indian Arts Research Center at the School of Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Vilcek Collection in New York. They were then given the freedom to express their thoughts in whichever written form they wished, prose or poem. Their lively, varied contributions reveal the pottery to be not only a utilitarian art form but also a powerfully intangible element that sits at the heart of Pueblo.
