Corn Grinding Maiden with Dragonflies

Photos by Jannelle Weakly

Description: Pottery plate of native clay and natural pigments (mustard weed, iron oxide) applied with yucca brush. Stone polished and traditionally fired with sheep dung.

Juror's Comments: Good idea—combination of Corn Maiden and Dragonfly! Composition is a bit off but centered. More control on the brush strokes would improve it even more.
