My
attraction to the Southwest began as a boy with my family's subscription
to Arizona Highways. It wasn't until the early 1970s that I made
my first trip to the Southwest as an artist in the medium of photography
to participate in a photography workshop. It was held in Tucson
where I was privileged to study under Ansel Adams, Minor White,
Judy Dater, Jack Welpott, Frederick Summers and several other well-known
photographers. I saw how different the colors, terrain and the light
of the Southwest were from my home in New England. (Photo:

I
saw pueblo pottery several times prior to becoming interested in
it. I thought it was nice but I never purchased. Then, on a visit
to Chimayo, New Mexico, I met Joseph Sisneros, director of the Rancho
de Chimayo Collection, who generously spent hours explaining the
devotion, the artistry,
the endurance, and the spirit of the pueblo potters who produce
this beautiful art work. As an artist, as a patron of the arts,
and as a person who loves and respects Nature, I could not help
but be captivated.
Today,
when I hold a piece of pueblo pottery in my home, I can smell pinion
and cedar smoldering; see a seemingly endless horizon filled with
turquoise skies and muted pastel colored hills; mesas and canyons;
and the crisp, dry morning air warming as the sun begins to cast
its light on the earth after a cool dessert night. Holding this
pottery reconnects us with Mother Earth and the natural order. The
stress and fear inherent to the world of men and women in the 21st
century seem to fade into the background. It's a bit of magic and
this pottery is the medium through which Mother Earth and the human
spirit become one.
Pueblo
pottery is created by people who stand closer to the Earth and the
natural way than most of us ever will. They have done so for countless
generations as once, long ago, all our ancestors did. It is the
difference between
'taking' and 'receiving' that distinguishes them from our society's
usual approach to the Earth and her bounty. That difference blesses
them with an incredible ability to discover such beauty in the most
base element of creation--- clay. Through this pottery we can share
that blessing and hopefully a better vision of the place we call
home and our connection to it. This belief is why I've chosen to
present and promote these wonderful creations. Most all those from
whom I purchase and those to whom I sell have found a spiritual
link to life, Mother Earth and the Creator through this pottery.
I honor that connection by conducting my gallery business with honesty,
integrity and fairness. I give my word and I keep it. ~ P.L.
