"Winter and Summer Owls"
by Merton L. Sisneros, Santa Clara Pueblo
Merton L. Sisneros
Description: A pair of black pottery figures. Made of traditional clay and traditionally fired.
About this Award: Awarded to acknowledge excellence in non-vessel ceramics.
Jurors' Comments:
A. Abeita: These pieces are unique, simple, with great workmanship.
M. Polyestewa: It's authentic, from Santa Clara, everything done by hand and fired the traditional way. They are owls and it's a figurative piece and it's hard work to do when it's done authentically.
J. Ware: I liked the highly stylized design.
