Bill RichardsonGovernor
As Governor of New Mexico, I am joined by First Lady, Barbara Richardson in welcoming the second annual SOFA WESTto Santa Fe during a wonderful and cultural time of the year. It is an honor for Santa Fe and the Museum of New MexicoFoundation to be a partner for this year’s opening night activities.
We are elated to share the hospitality of our beautiful Santa Fe Convention Center for this well attended event. Over 2,000guests attended SOFA WEST’s inaugural Opening Night last year, with an estimated 10,000 visitors attending the fair duringits four-day run. We are confident and in high spirits to know that we can exceed the attendance of last year with thesewonderful artist creations and the ambiance of our City.
New Mexico has a lot to offer and we hope that SOFA collectors will find time to enjoy the extraordinary cultural and artisticheritage of Santa Fe and its surrounding Native American Pueblos.
New Mexico offers stunning sunsets, an exciting menu of Southwestern cuisine where you will be asked the official Statequestion: Red or Green? SOFA brings an international flavor to the Southwest and we look forward to sharing our hospitalitywith one and all.
With warmest regards,
Bill RichardsonGovernor of New Mexico

On behalf of all of us at the New Mexico Museum of Art, I am delighted to welcome SOFA back to Santa Fe. The cultural vibrancy of summer in Santa Fecan only really be appreciated by those who are fortunate enough to experience it – it is wonderful that SOFA encourages so many people to come hereand share in the excitement and creativity of the area.
I hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy the area’s cultural offerings as part of your SOFA experience. The Museum of Art’s summer exhibition offersa slightly different take on functional arts in Solemates: Cowboy Boots and Art, presenting cowboy boots as reflections of American cultural values, asmarkers of Western life, and as works of art.
Complementing Solemates Is Art on the Edge, showcasing the work of seven contemporary artists selected by Nicholas Baume for this biennialjuried show. To experience a distinctly New Mexican cultural flavor we offer you How the West is One: The Art of New Mexico, a delightful displayof Southwestern Art by Native American, Hispanic, and European-American artists which illustrates the changing aesthetic ideals that have evolvedwithin southwestern art over the last 125 years.
Welcome to Santa Fe, and enjoy!

Earth Pigs and Earth Mothers:The Ceramics of Diego RomeroBy Garth Clark

My Favorite Tools Are My Hands:Feral Metal in a Tame LandBy Dr. Bruce Bernsteinand Gabe Gomez
Earth Pigs andEarth Mothers:The Ceramicsof Diego RomeroBy Garth Clark
There are only a handful of potters preparedto confront pueblo realities in their artwork.For most the subject is taboo. Jody Folwellwas among the first to speak out through herpottery in the 1980s, and also went beyondpueblo politics and took on national scandalssuch as Ollie North. Her daughter, Susan, hasfollowed in her footsteps. Puebloans deal withsexual dysfunction, unemployment, poverty, risingnumbers of single parent families, the alienation oftheir youth, difficulty in sustaining their religion andtraditions and AIDS. These are problems facingAmerica at large but the pueblos deal with more,cultural marginalization, rampant alcoholism, andthe highest incidence of diabetes in America (thelatter two as the result of genetic susceptibility).Diego Romero’s ability to gently confront thesedifficult issues, pushing aside the veil of privacy,is carried out with concern of a healer tending awound, the triumph of a nurturing spirit over adifficult childhood.
Romero was born in Berkeley, California in 1964and refers to himself without any discomfort asa “half-breed,” son of a white mother, Nelly Guth,a quintessential 1960’s liberal and a Cochiti Indianfather, Santiago Romero. The two met whileattending the then uber-radical University ofCalifornia, Berkeley. Santiago was a talented artistand educator but tormented and ambivalent toboth worlds. He disliked the Indian reservationfor being too controlling (although he choseto go back when he was dying) but was alsobitter towards the Anglos because of his servicein the Korean War that cost him one of his hands– a sacrifice he felt was underappreciated.
Romero was raised in Northern California’s BayArea and spent his summers in Cochiti, a yoyobetween two worlds: a liberal urban environmentand the hermetic conservative reservation. Comingto terms with this was not easy. He was tauntedby both sides; mostly by the whites in Berkeley forbeing half-Native but also on his annual summervisits to Cochiti for being half-white. He also hadto endure constant insulting remarks about hismother who was never accepted by the pueblo.This real adolescent pain gives his pots a nuancedcontent that is unique, straddling both sides ofthe racial fence, and taking no prisoners fromeither camp, yet teasing out the humanity of both.
In his mid-teens Romero took matters into hisown hands, studied the Indian ways, made closefriends in the Pueblo, took part in their ceremonies,celebrations and eventually, the religious dances.It paid off. He is much more comfortable withhis dual identity, maybe more native today thanAnglo. A few years ago, the Cochiti council grantedhim the right to occupy his grandfather’s property,a gesture of acceptance that Romero foundemotionally overwhelming at the time. (No one ownsland in the pueblos, the council assigns propertyrights.) He did not care that his grandfather’shouse was little more than a crumbling adobeoutline on the ground, it meant the world to Romero.
Early on he saw art as the only possible avenue,considering it an escape route as much as acareer. Surrounded by ceramic makers and hisfirst mentor Nathan Begaye, a remarkably icono-clastic potter, who encouraged him, clay called toRomero. He studied at the Institute of AmericanIndian Arts in Santa Fe for a year before relocatingto Los Angeles where he studied with two ofAmerica’s most legendary ceramists: Ralph Bacerraat the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles and AdrianSaxe in the graduate program at the Universityof California Los Angeles.
Romero credits Bacerra with refining his craft andAdrian Saxe with his conceptual breakthroughs.At UCLA he made Native pots with the Anasaziand Mimbres decoration painted in gold. He feltthis was a cool and brave step, something unheardof in Native pottery. Gilded or not, Romero’s potsdid not impress Saxe, who informed him, “you cancontinue to paint these pots as long as you wishbut that is not art and unless you do somethingmore transformational, you will be denied yourmaster’s degree.”
Stung, Romero began to look further afield forinspiration. He noted the importance of athleteson Ancient Greek pottery and then made theconnection to the painted runners in Mimbrespottery and their continuing place in Indian lore.He painted a reserve panel in a bowl with atrio of stylized runners, clearly Indian, sprintingacross the bowl with the same composition ason the Greek pots, surrounded by his golddecoration – the bridge that united his twoworlds. He graduated in 1993.

Mimbres is Romero’s touchstone and the centralreference point in almost all of his work. Thispottery was made around 1200 A.D. and is oneof the high points in prehistoric native art. TheMimbres, a group that lived along the southernborder of Arizona were taught by the Anasazi tomake pottery and soon these students exceededthe artistry of their teachers. Mimbres pottery isone of the most sophisticated and exquisite bodiesof work in the world history of the medium, drawinginside bowls on curved lines and yet achievingthe illusion of a flat plane.
Little is known of the Mimbres people whosedisappearance remains a mystery, but theirceramics remained safe, buried with their owners.The deceased were buried seated upright in theirgraves (usually dug into the floor of their home)with a bowl, possibly their favorite, placed overtheir face. A small hole was punched out of thecenter of the bowl, to act as a portal through whichthe spirit could escape the body and travel to thehereafter. Ever since the discovery of the work inthe 19th century, the power of these vesselswith their starkly graphic imagery, reductive buteloquent, remains an inspiration for artists acrossthe world.
Romero, a comic book fan, prefers stylizedarchetypes when it comes to form, simplifiedrepresentations of traditional pots, and the half-sphere bowl. His bowls, rather than being coiled,are slab molded on a plaster form with an evenwall, free of any marks from the hand excepton the rim where he adds a few coils and leaveshis finger marks. The sharp, squared off, flatrim is not part of the Indian pottery vocabulary,but adds to his contemporary stylization of theform. The shape was selected not just for itsneo-Native look, its perfect geometry and sleek
line, but also for practical reasons. It offers thelargest expanse for an interior canvas. While hehand builds pots as well, form does not exciteRomero in the same way as surface. Often whenhe needs more complex forms, Romero wouldhave another potter make the pot, most oftenNathan Begaye, and only do the painting, butnow he is makes vessel forms himself.
A gifted draftsman and illustrator, his paintedpanels have the graphic power of 1930’swoodblock prints with their angular and heroicstylization. Deep shadows often convey anundertow of threat or anxiety. They have thepersuasive directness of propaganda art of the30s, particularly that of the socialists and tradeunions. This format allowed exploration of a terrainhe knows well – the Native in Anglo society (andvice versa) on all levels from ethnicity, politics,and gender issues to religion and economics.
In many ways his work relates more to thatof the black artist Kara Walker who also dealswith the politics and history of race and gender,than it does to other native artists. She uses atechnique, popular amongst Victorian women,of cutting out silhouettes from black paper andfixing them against a white ground. Just as withRomero’s illustrations, her dramatic telegraphicimages deal with everything from slavery andlynching to randy couplings. Both Walker andRomero use a decorative arts format to deliverfine art content, traversing the path of racialidentity.
Romero’s work covers a wide spectrum. Someof his pots seem little more than visual gags,such as the bowl with a Mimbres-style golfer,or another larger bowl with Indians building aMesoamerican burial mound, a sacred structure,out of massive cell phones, ubiquitous devicesin the Southwest. Yet neither joke is as harmlessin its humor as it seems at first glance. Golf,for instance, is a controversial matter amongstNatives, considered by many to be a ludicroususe of both land and water. Chongo in theWhite House is a simple but effective cartoonshowing Romero seated at the desk in the OvalOffice. It raises a chuckle but speaks volumesabout Native politics, history, power, prejudice,and for the moment, the sadness of impossibility.
The term “Chongo” applies to native men whowear their hair with the traditional bun. SomeIndians are disturbed by the term as it means ratin Spanish. But it is no doubt this very ambivalence
that attracts Romero, using it as an alter ego andsigning his work “Chongo Made” and describinghimself and his brother Mateo, a successfulpainter, as the “Chongo Brothers,” laid-backNative superheroes appearing at the center ofthe action in many of his artworks.
Romero’s sardonic use of the cartoon isperfectly illustrated in a group of eight stylishblack and silver bowls in which he illustratesthe classic cartoon advertisement that, whenintroduced in 1928, made a wealthy man ofthe champion bodybuilder, Charles Atlas. Theconcept was the brainchild of adman CharlesRoman (who also coined the term “DynamicTension” for Atlas’s exercising technique) andit featured a headline, “The Insult that Madea Man out of Mac.” In seven cartoon panelsRoman told the tale of a skinny 90 poundweakling having sand kicked in his face on thebeach by a bully who also takes away Grace,Mac’s girlfriend. Seven days later Mac returnsa new man, socks the bully on the jaw andreclaims Grace. This ad ran unchanged for over50 years, feeding one of the most profitabledirect mail businesses in America.
More than just commerce, this scenario was aformative part of adolescent culture for generations.Even this writer at the tender age of 11 dutifullyclipped this coupon and sent it in to learn moreabout the offer and how to stand up to schoolyardbullies. What made the offer work was that it didnot play on vanity by guaranteeing bigger musclesor a more beautiful body. Rather it offered to endthe humiliation, emasculation and impotence ofbeing tyrannized, whether by an individual or agroup. It offered strength, masculinity and safety.It spoke to men and boys who felt marginalized.
This macho beach encounter is now solidly partof American folklore. President Bush Sr. invokedthe “sand-in-the-face” metaphor when he wentto War against Iraq. It has been resurrectedcountless times by the comic press, most recentlyby Marvel, Bongo and National Lampoon. Butfor Romero, its meaning is deeper than most, withthe kicked sand coming from both sides of hiscultural inheritance.
Romero, who suffered a great deal of childhoodharassment (even today Native Americans are themost tormented group in America’s schools) clearlyidentified with these ads. Later, in an effort togain some control in his life, Romero becamea martial arts student at a Santa Fe gym. He

gave up this activity when he found that it wasbeginning to pump his testosterone level to adangerously aggressive high.
Other subjects are romantic, gentle and drawfrom his day-to-day biography. In Girl Waiting,he has made a piece about the anxiety of agirl waiting for her lover. Roxanne Swentzell(Romero’s partner for a number of years) saysthis piece is about the life of his girlfriends duringhis wild years as they wait (and wait) “for acollect call.” On another two bowls he gatherscourage to propose to Roxanne and in yetanother he daydreams about her.
Romero’s erotic works, another aspect of hisoeuvre, mix explicit raunchiness with dazzlingelegance. “I like to push the sexual button inmy work,” says Romero, “I like the men to haveoverstated musculature and obscenely bulgingcrotches.” But it also speaks to AIDS activismin the Indian community.
Romero’s subject matter can shift abruptly fromhumor in one piece to horror in another as whenhe explores early history between the natives andthe Europeans. Lynching is a riveting, brooding andatmospheric pot. Its panel depicts a malevolent
priest covering the mouth of a native woman,silencing her protest while, in the background,the body of a Chongo, possibly her husband orlover, hangs from a noose. In this small artworkRomero encapsulates much of the cruel history,self-righteous paternalism and violence of themissionaries, first the Spanish and then theAnglos with their determination to destroy theNative way of life. It is difficult to look at thisbowl without it sending a shiver of complicitguilt down one’s spine.
The genius of his art, however, is that it is neithershrill, nor patently angry, it moves between thesardonic and the outrageously comic. One onlyhas to look at the large vessel Earth Pigs toappreciate his non-confrontational approachto serious subject matter.
It is increasingly apparent that tying Romero tooclosely to Indian art is an error. Yes, it is at thecore of his subject matter but I would argue thatRomero is a Pop artist before he is an Indianartist. That is not just the viewpoint of thiswriter. In 2001 the Foundation Cartier pour l’artContemporain in Paris had the foresight toinclude both Romero and his fellow Chochitaartist, Virgil Ortiz, in their survey exhibition ofneo-Pop, Un Art Populaire. For some it mayseem a stretch to place the mild-manneredRomero with his modestly sized bowls in thecontext of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol andClaes Oldenburg. But this has been his milieufor years. A small print he made 15 years agoentitled, Wow Chongo, shows a woman tellingthe viewer in a speech bubble, “Wow Chongothis print is a masterpiece! Soon you’ll haveall of Santa Fe clamoring for your work!”
Romero was also one of five artists featured inthe groundbreaking Free Spirit: The New NativeAmerican Potter, at the Stedelijk Museum‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands in 2006 thatexhibited the work of native ceramists who wereworking outside the traditional boundaries of thistradition. In December he will be in a two-personexhibition with Christine McHorse at James KellyContemporary. In addition the Ceramic ArtsFoundation is currently organizing a national touringretrospective exhibition of his work for 2012.He also will be featured in a major exhibition oncontemporary ceramics at the Museum of FineArts, Houston in that year. Clearly this is a careerthat cannot be contained within the city limits ofSanta Fe.
Garth Clark is a dealer and award winning authorand historian of modern ceramics with over 50books to his name. His book on Lucio Fontana’sceramics will be published soon together with twoanthologies Homage to R. Mutt: Writing and MarcelDuchamp’s Fountain and its Aftermath and TheCeramics Reader.

The Fire Burns OnPilchuck Glass School
A.
Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtová,Klaus Moje, Kiki Smith, Judy Chicago, BertilVallien, William Morris, Joyce Scott, ThermanStatom, Dan Dailey, Howard Ben Tré, LinoTagliapietra, and Ann Hamilton. These are justa few of the distinguished artists who havemade a unique journey to the Pacific Northwest.Transported to another place, traveling alongthe winding gravel road that meanders throughdense forests to the campus of Pilchuck GlassSchool – a 54-acre property on a former treefarm in the foothills of Washington State’sCascade Mountains, a one hour drive north ofSeattle. Here rolling hillside meadows overlookfertile lowland farms out to the waters of thePuget Sound glimmering in the distance. Pathscushioned by moss and pine needles lead fromthe bright sunlight of open meadows into thecool shade of towering Douglas Firs. Theirjourneys follow in the footsteps of a group ofartists who, in the summer of 1971, gathered inthe Northwest and begin to make Dale Chihuly’sdream of a glass school in Washington Statecome true.
What began in June 1971 as a one-time summerglassblowing workshop has grown into the world’smost comprehensive center for glass art education.Thanks to the vision of founders Dale Chihuly, JohnHauberg, and Anne Gould Hauberg, along withthe enthusiasm and dedication of all who havecome to the campus since, Pilchuck now hostsmore than 500 students and artists each summerand is guided by a 41-member Board of Trustees.Although much has changed since the 1970s, theoriginal core values of the school endure: toinspire creativity, transform individuals and buildcommunity.
In the early days artists and students workedwith makeshift equipment and inferior-qualityglass, happy to be making things up as theywent along. Experimentation and explorationset the tone for – and are now the hallmarks of –Pilchuck Glass School. This small but enthusiasticcommunity knew little of traditional techniques.Through trial and error they invented new formsand glass-working methods, and through this thestudio glass movement evolved. Over time, the
European master glass artists and designersvisited the growing campus and introducedtraditional materials and techniques – Muranesecane making and Czech kiln casting amongothers – were eagerly assimilated. Before longthere emerged a potent combination of OldWorld craftsmanship, New World individualartistic expression and highly effective teamworkthat has come to characterize Pilchuck all theseyears later.
As the artistic program developed, so did thefacilities. What started as a camp evolved into acampus. Pilchuck’s master plan has a quintes-sential Northwest feel, and the layout of the campussupports that special sense of community that isa large part of the school. The location, the climateand the rustic environment are ideal for creatingart with glass and are integral to the spirit ofPilchuck. In this remote corner of WashingtonState, people from all corners of the globe meet,techniques evolve and ideas form.

Summer Educational Program
Pilchuck’s philosophy of education flows fromDale Chihuly’s original idea of “artists teachingartists.” After nearly 40 years, this concept stillholds true. We believe that people everywherethrive on creativity and that everyone can learnto cultivate their artistic talents, at any stageof life and at any point in their development asan artist. As such we aim to provide a learningexperience that is unrivaled in its intensity, qualityof instruction and concentration of artistic talent.
Our summer educational program consists offive consecutive sessions that run from Maythrough August. Within each session we offer fiveconcurrent courses that are designed for a rangeof skill levels and that draw upon all manner oftechniques and methods of working with glassas an artistic medium. Every year the summerprogram features a fresh roster of instructors andartists in residence to ensure that we continuallypush the boundaries of what is possible withglass. Each course is different but all are meantto foster explorative learning and artistic growth.
Some courses concentrate on the mastery offundamental techniques using traditional skillsand standard materials, while others exploremore contemporary artistic concepts and/orthe latest technologies. Pilchuck students haveaccess to creative resources – instructors, artistsin residence, teaching and artists’ assistants,gaffers, campus staff and fellow students. Theexperience of living in an immersive artist com-munity for several weeks at a time, and whatthat does for the creative spirit, is invaluable.Students sign up to study with one artist, butthe full effect of being on campus – learning,working, sharing meals with all the instructors,artistic staff and artists in residence – isimmeasurably profound.
In order to serve a broad range of abilities andskill levels, Pilchuck courses vary in terms ofdifficulty. Some are appropriate for those with noprior glassblowing experience or formal art educa-tion, while others require previous coursework intwo- or three-dimensional art or particular glassworking skills. The goal of all Pilchuck workshopsis experimentation, not production; participantsare encouraged to go home with a notebook fullof ideas rather than a suitcase full of glass.
The secluded campus, the natural beauty ofthe surroundings and the elimination of mostdaily distractions provide ideal conditions forparticipants to develop an intense focus. Theseven main studios – the hot shop, hot-casting
shop, kiln shop, cold shop, print shop, flat shopand a glass/wood/metals shop for multi-mediaworks – are open for long hours so that artistsmay continue to work individually before andafter classes. Artist presentations are held eachevening after dinner. Critiques, readings, panels,demonstrations, and discussions with artists inresidence and visiting artists are also scheduled.
Everyone arrives at Pilchuck with ideas, energy,and creative potential. When participants leave,it is almost always with a new perspective.
2010 Summer Program
The 2010 summer program features coursesthat are typical for Pilchuck in their widelydivergent themes. Each session is characterizedby collaboration and great potential for inter-disciplinary cross-over in a wide assortment oftechniques and media. This year’s curriculum isbased on the talents, insights and experiencesof instructors that hail from all corners of theglobe, including Australia, the Czech Republic,Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Korea and the US.
Among the highlights of the 2010 courseofferings are classes that explore ways thatneon can be powered with solar energy andother contemporary illumination possibilities;a rediscovery of pâte de verre with two self-taught masters; flameworking with furnaceglass; and the use of digital technology andvideo to investigate glass working phenomena.
The 2010 summer program also featuresconcentrations in painting and drawing, cold andhot surface exploration and sculpting, and manyof the innovative construction and assemblymethods used in contemporary glass forming,canework, goblet making, installation, hot castingfor sculpture, flameworking, painting with enamels,and stained glass. Kiln forming is offered in everysession for different experience levels, and featuresa range of techniques and sculptural applications.
Pilchuck’s Artist in Residency Program
The Artist in Residence program has beenimmensely important to Pilchuck’s developmentas an arts education center. Artists in Residencecome to Pilchuck by invitation and act as catalystswho invigorate and challenge the content of eachsummer course as they discover and exploit thepotential of glass. Accomplished in art forms out-side of glass, the artists in residence are some ofthe most respected national and internationalartists working today. By including visual artists

working across a broad spectrum of media,Pilchuck’s residencies increase the number anddiversity of professional artists using glass. 22artists will complete residencies as part of thesummer program in 2010.
Each Artist in Residence is provided with anindividual studio, a full-time assistant, andaccess to experienced staff and fabricators.Participating artists have diverse backgroundsand aesthetics. Not only do they offer newchallenges to the traditions of glass making,but their Pilchuck experience invariably results inthe creation of a broad range of innovative newworks during and after the residencies. The listof invitees to this program reads as a veritableWho’s Who of contemporary art, including LyndaBenglis, Maya Lin, Italo Scanga, Jim Dine, FredWilson, Joe Feddersen, Deborah Butterfield,Wendy Ramshaw, and Isabel and Ruben Toledo.In total, some 300 artists have participated inthis long established program.
Off Season Residencies
Outside of the summer sessions, Pilchuckalso offers residencies to emerging artists andprofessional artists, as well as a collaborativegroup residency called the John H. HaubergFellowship.
The Emerging Artist in Residence programserves promising younger artists who have hadsome previous experience working with glass.Six artists are selected from applicants world-wide. They receive a $1,000 stipend, lodgingand access to studios for two months each fall.Participants are highly self-motivated and eagerfor the chance to focus on their work and toexchange ideas with each other. “EAiRs” usetheir residencies to create a body of work or topursue new projects or methods, often pushingthe envelope of glass through experimentationor with mixed-media combinations that includewood, bronze, photography, X-rays, paper,twine, concrete and found materials. Pilchuckpartners with Seattle’s Friesen Gallery to presentan exhibition of works by each year’s emergingartists in residence. Many younger artists recentlyintroduced to collectors at SOFA have participatedin this valued residency – Ethan Stern, Sean Albert,Sean O’Neill, April Surgent – to name only a few.
The Professional Artist in Residence program,while being the most flexible in regards to lengthof time in the spring or fall, is the only residencyin which artists are entirely responsible for theirown project expenses. Experienced, professionalartists are selected to reside on campus and touse certain portions of the school’s facilitiesfor their independent projects. A recent “PAiR”is the internationally recognized landscapearchitect Andy Cao, based in Los Angeles, whois completing a public art commission for theBow Lake Transfer Station near Seattle.
The John H. Hauberg Fellowship, establishedin 2000 in honor of Pilchuck’s co-founder, thelate John H. Hauberg, offers a rare opportunityfor collaboration among a group of as manyas six established professional artists. For 12days each spring, Hauberg Fellows work bothindividually and collaboratively to create artthat responds to Pilchuck’s natural environmentand/or utilizes the school’s glassmaking facilities.Visual artists in all media as well as writers,poets, art critics, and curators are encouragedto submit proposals with a collaborative conceptor theme. The intent is to focus on projects andideas that will inspire creative endeavors longafter the fellowship ends. Past collaborationshave focused on a variety of topics includingpainting on glass, Native American aesthetics andconcerns, and issues about place and architecture.
In addition to the wide range and diverse contentof Pilchuck’s programs and residencies, individualdiversity is essential to the Pilchuck experience.Instructors, students and staff members varybroadly in terms of age, background, skill level,aesthetics, cultural heritage and artistic traditions;each contributes in a unique way to the cultureand learning environment of the school.
The Spirit of Pilchuck
Artists often refer to “the spirit of Pilchuck”when describing the sense of community theyexperience on campus. Collaboration is anintegral part of the learning process at Pilchuck;as it advances contemporary glass art and canchange lives. Instructors frequently co-teachworkshops or assist each other with demonstra-tions. Working in teams or side-by-side in thestudios, students often realize work they neverknew they were even contemplating.
Exchanges with colleagues can lead to strongerwork or entirely new directions. A deep sense ofcommunity develops as well as creative andpersonal relationships that last for years, decades,or lifetimes. Even during the most frustrating
moments of the creative process, working in thecollaborative campus atmosphere is simplymore fun.
The collaborative aspect of glass working alsohas a ripple effect when participants return totheir schools, jobs and studios after being atPilchuck. Newly acquired artistic concepts,refined techniques, and enhanced knowledgeare further shared with colleagues, students,co-workers and friends. Teachers often attendPilchuck’s summer programs to pursue their ownartistic development, refresh their perspective andgather current information to offer their students.Students, particularly those from countries withnewly emerging glass art scenes, often becometeachers themselves when they return home anddemonstrate what they have learned to instructorsand peers.
Beyond the roaring furnaces and quiet forestsof its campus setting, Pilchuck Glass Schoolreaches out to collaborate with museums,galleries, art collectors and other educationalinstitutions to improve worldwide access toand appreciation of contemporary glass art.With its many partners, the school orchestratesexhibitions, presents demonstrations and lectures,arranges art tours, and offers numerous scholar-ships. On several occasions throughout theyear, Pilchuck invites members of the publicto tour its serene campus, watch glass makingdemonstrations and meet and talk to many ofits outstanding artists. Each fall, the schoolorganizes its major public event in Seattle, thePilchuck Art Auction, which offers the best incontemporary glass art, showcasing close to300 works of art by internationally renownedmasters as well as outstanding new talents. Sogreat is the “spirit of Pilchuck” that artists fromnear and far generously donate work to be soldfor the benefit of the school – the school that hascontinued to mean so much to artists throughthe generations, and that inspires creativity,transforms individuals, and builds community.

My Favorite Tools Are My Hands:Feral Metal in a Tame LandBy Dr. Bruce Bernstein and Gabe Gomez
A.
Cody Sanderson, Kenneth Johnson, RobinWaynee and Pat Pruitt are the new faces ofSouthwest jewelry. Their work is informed withmodern sensibilities and strong individualism,while simultaneously being a continuum ofthe art inspired by the vast cultural and naturallandscapes of the American Southwest. Eachof the artists approaches their work in decisiveways, creating an unsurpassed beauty that isworldly and timeless. The jewelry they createis a dynamic representation of the dialoguebetween art and adornment.
Jewelry is an idiom; a colloquial term utteredendlessly by those artists who undertake thecreation of this art form. And like language itself,jewelry hints at the personality of the speakeras much as the meaning behind the words, orin the case of these four artists, a reinvention ofhow we speak and what we know about Nativeart and Native peoples. As an art piece, jewelryis capable of navigating through the broad circlesof art collecting, exhibitions and unfortunatecompartmentalization. As adornment, jewelryis declarative – a restless pronouncement ofindividual style. More importantly, it is artistry:an aesthetic vision met with the technical skillsto realize raw materials into objects.
Art, to state it simply, is the result of the keenestobservers in our societies working to harnesstheir vision. Similarly, jewelers have managedto capture the essence and complexity of theSouthwest, relying heavily on silver and turquoiseas the base materials of their work. Lamentably,this has resulted in a deluge of imitators; fromcraftspeople to assembly lines in Asia, SouthwesternJewelry has reached a halting and screechingend. Ironically, the ubiquity of foreign made“Southwest Jewelry” has stifled the growth of theart form by flooding the market with substandard,uninspired and markedly fake wares upon anunsuspecting public. So here in the Fertile Crescentwe call the Southwest – are jewelers who haveonce again taken up the mantle to work beyondcategorizations and a corrosive tourist market.
The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts(SWAIA) is an 89-year-old Native arts advocacyorganization that is best known for planningand building the annual Santa Fe Indian Market.With over a thousand artists it is not difficult fornovices and art connoisseurs to become lost inthe vast variety of tribal styles, formal art trainingand individual ability represented at Indian Market.SWAIA’s collaborative venture with SOFA is anopportunity to put forward some of the very bestexamples of the Native art world. Our primaryobjective is to introduce four supremely talentedpeople. We believe their work is aestheticallystunning and emancipating.
As the four jewelers sat down together to discussSOFA WEST there was not only a generationalcamaraderie, but also a commonality of theircutting-edge work. Certainly as Native peoplethey are deeply connected to their own world-view and set of community ethics in addition toAmerican values and culture. Their reliance ontheir own history is not unlike any other artist,and like other artists they also find inspirationfrom the contemporary world. This may seem triteand unnecessary to mention, but still necessaryto say as it reminds us that these are not yourstereotypical Hollywood Indians. To referencescholar and curator Paul Chaat Smith’s 2009book, Everything You Know About Indians is Wrong.
Robin Waynee thought she would be woodworker.To support herself, she got a job in a jewelrystore. There she met her future husband andwas fascinated by various metals and jewelrytechniques. Only a few short years later, herjewelry is capturing the world’s attention. She
designs each piece on paper, working out theintricate details and nuance of construction.Pat Pruitt studied engineering. It was a goodvocation for someone who rebuilds cars andloves heavy construction. His work with stainlesssteel jewelry began through his background inmanufacturing body art and piercing jewelry.Kenneth is the consummate jeweler; cautiousand meticulous, each piece is exquisitely craftedwith hundreds of hammer blows creating patternand depth in metal that defy logic. His relianceon old culture patterns surprises many, as hisdesigns look as fresh and new today as whenthey were created 500 years ago. Cody is thejack-of-all-trades; he traveled the country as ajewelry salesman before he decided that it wastime for him to make his own. His strong designsense is historic on one hand, but exotic andmodern on the other.

This generation of jewelers is open with information,which makes sitting down with the four of themso entertaining. If someone wants to know how tomake something they are welcome in the studioto observe. But the four of them also know thatthe experience and ability they each possess isnot something that can be shared. Interestingly,they all agree that their best learning tool is trial anderror. Another jeweler can analyze and measure totheir heart’s content, but they will not be able toduplicate the hand and eye coordination andaesthetic abilities of these four. They also knowthat imitation is a form of flattery; so if someone“borrows” their designs or techniques it has a happyending, “if someone picks up something I do, itforces me to grow,” the artists uniformly quipped.
When we think of jewelry we most often thinkof metal that is bent, hammered and shapeddespite its will into elegant shapes and colorsthat evoke everything from the wilds of natureto unapologetic sex appeal. Metal has long beenour companion. The first human cultures thatlearned to use it turned it into adornment asquickly as tools. Of course adorning our bodiesis older than the use of metal – whether wood,bone, feather, vegetable dyes, flora. Metal,however, is undying and poignantly malleable.
Here in the Southwest, turquoise was mined.Seashells and copper bells were quarried andshipped from tremendous distances. Famousancient cities like Chaco were relatively emptyof people but filled with the riches of jewelry thatmarked the extravagance of the privileged. Morerecently, images of the Southwest are shadedby silver, turquoise, and the romanticized lonelysilversmith sitting under a cottonwood treeworking with primitive tools. These smithswere no more primitive or disconnected fromthe world than we are with our Blackberries oriPhones. The American Industrial Revolutiongave rise to many things and one of them wasthe wide availability of sophisticated tools andan expanding market for American visionarydesign. These first smiths encapsulated thevast landscapes of the Southwest. Their workis iconic and enduring.
Like their forbearers, new generations of jewelersare stretching out and presenting an expandingreflection of the unique land and people of theAmerican Southwest. As modernity has drawnthe nation together with communications andtransportation, this vision remains at the center ofwho we are and long-to-be as American people.While their work is as Southwest as cholla cactus,it is also as American as a New York skyscraper.Jewelers use tools as basic as the hammer andas sophisticated as computer design software.
Working trade shows, networks, and the Internet,they find nano-technology transforming their studiosinto scientific laboratories where internationaldeliveries are commonplace. They live here inSanta Fe and in outlining communities. Their bondis the metal and learning to twist and shape it intoexpanding ideas. One artist tests ideas in copper,another tests them on paper, both are meticulousand methodical and leave nothing to chance.
Perhaps one steadfast trademark of Southwesternjewelry is its inventiveness. Jewelers might buildtheir pieces around a beautiful stone, drawinginspiration from its matrix of spidering lines.Another jeweler is struck by his children’s toysand creates a line of precious metal Barrel-of-Monkey pendants. Jewelers might also findancient symbols and revitalize them. Jewelryinventiveness can be hard-fought too; hours spentwith pencil and paper might provide a precisedrawing, but can a jeweler shape and connectmetal beyond its will?
The inventiveness sometimes begins with thejeweler’s tools. Southwest jewelers’ roots includeblacksmithing, so there are a variety of placesand ways that tools are found and made. Theybuy tools to help themselves grow, to help intaming the metal and reaching for new abilities.When asked about their favorite and mostindispensible tool, the results were eye opening.One described a hammer purchased at aflea market and another an elaborate piece ofmachinery that even ten years ago would not befound in a jeweler’s studio. Robin spoke aboutthe irreplaceable binary microscope she uses.“How else can I set stones?” she asks us. Thetool allows her to work on the fine scale shedemands of herself. She quickly adds that her“eyeball doesn’t always make it – I really likemy dividers, calipers, and paper too.” Cody getsmisty when talking about his first hammer thathe still uses each day; “As long as I have thehammer it is a reminder of where I began aswell as a security blanket.”

“My favorite tools are my hands,” Pat says,“without them I couldn’t sketch or do anything.My hands allow me to do many things and notbe dependent on any one thing…despite andbeyond the tools two hands gives you thecapacity to make things.”
Many people believe once-upon-a-time therewas a simplicity and primitivism to Southwesternjewelry making. But this is an era that neverwas. In the past century jewelers wandered intorailroad machine shops and found the hard steelthey needed to make repoussé and die sets. Theyabsorbed the landscape for its meanings andtranslated its patterns and shapes into their work.The group agrees that their respective studiosare not a jeweler’s shop, but more like a machinistshop. All of them have the evidence of trial anderror sitting everywhere; Robin is meticulous, hertools carefully lined up. Cody uses copper tostamp out designs; Ken uses silver to prototypedesigns; Pat’s precise movements and abilitiesneed no testing. Robin says “it’s not easy to comeup with a design…designing is the most challengingpart of jewelry making. Sometimes it takes weeksfor a design to come together, other times thingsjust happen.”
There is an intimacy to making jewelry that isfueled by raw inspiration. Hours in close contactwith a piece, hunched over the bench seeingnothing else for days except a singular goldenshape. Despite the planned execution and carefulplanning involved, there is still the mystery andwonder in the creative process. “The excitementis that we don’t know what we are going to make.”says Cody.
It is the difference between an instinct andpractical skill that separates these jewelers.There is much to be discovered amid thejewelers’ bench or worktable. The metal literallyspeaks; practiced hands help push and pullthings into shape. Cody says, “The metal has awill which is why the finished piece is a windowinto my memory. When I see a piece I made, itis like visiting an old friend.” Intimacy is forgedin the process of making. Consider for a momentthat even as non-jewelers we can look at a pieceand identify its maker. This isn’t like looking atsomeone’s child and marveling at how they havegrown, but rather this is metal, moved andmodeled, small and intricate. One needs tostare deeply at the piece to notice its curvatureand lines and know who made it. Put that pieceof jewelry on your skin and watch it become apart of you. While you are looking in the mirror,you are becoming part of the jeweler’s narrative.As Cody continues, the piece is “a window tomy memory, and when I see it, it is like seeinga friend.”
Looking more carefully at southwest jewelryyou will notice that it is not just regional. Eventhe most typical Indian jewelry has its origins inthe Iberian Peninsula; its Moorish roots evidentin the double armed Naja and pomegranateshaped squash blossoms. These designscame from the saddles and horse tack of theSpanish conquerors. And silver? Silver canbe mined in the United States, but the firstsilver used by Southwest jewelers came fromminted American or Mexican coins. Inspirationthroughout the twentieth century relied onfashion; from the square art deco motifs ofthe silver and turquoise jewelry of the 1930s;to the worldwide influences of exotic naturalstones in the 1980s. Cody suggests, “things arenever original,” commenting on where he findsinspiration, he continues, “each piece has asentimental value and reminds you where youwere at a specific time.” Pat lengthens thethought, “to hang on to a piece is to mark time.”
The rawness of living at 7000 feet next to massivemountains, violent summer rainstorms and skiesso large they call them enchanting: Indigenouscultures don’t tame this essence but momentarilyharness it in order to turn it over and examineit more carefully, to have a brief moment wheretime stops and we begin to understand our placein the universe. A piece of handmade jewelryfrom the American Southwest is a small sliceof this infinity captured by the artist. Clearly,jewelry is more than adornment; it has incalculabletethers to its maker’s roots, community andsoul. The four jewelers sell their own work andtherefore know that buying jewelry is emotional.Principally, the artists make their jewelry as if itwas just for them, and never meant to be sold.But jewelry is transformative, and has the powerto change what we know about the world assoon as we put it on.
