A Place in Clay, seamlessly moves between clay sculptures and acrylic paintings, in which Wall engages with and explores her high desert surroundings. Finding inspiration in both her family’s artistic practices and the environment of Jemez Pueblo, Wall ask questions surrounding food sovereignty, language, and connection to place. “I have always considered Pueblo pottery to be an essential ingredient in my life,” said Wall. “Over the last thirty years, I have begun my creative process with the same actions as my mother, my grandmother, and my great grandmother before her. 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.” *The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is open Mon-Sun 10am – 5pm.

Collecting Jewelry: Curator H.P. Mera’s Trip to Navajo Country in 1932

The exhibit consists of jewelry collected by Dr. Harry P. Mera during a trip to the Navajo Nation in the fall of 1932. Funded primarily by John D. Rockefeller, Mera visited 80 trading posts and covered more than 2,500 miles to gather a collection of jewelry made in the prior 40 years. The pieces, outstanding in their craftsmanship and artistry, were handmade from silver coins or ingots of silver before the general availability of advanced mechanical tools and commercial commodities. These works shed light on the importance of silver to the Navajo people of the time, and form the inspiration of the jewelry artists that have followed. *The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is open Mon-Sun 10am – 5pm. Admission for New Mexico Resident Adults is $5, for non-residents, $9. Additional discounts and special can been seen at:http://miaclab.org/hours
