Description
ex: Gallery 10, 1995; Private Collection
Grace Medicine Flower is the daughter of renowned potters Camilio Tafoya and his wife Agapita Tafoya. She is also the niece of Margaret Tafoya, the “grande dame” of pottery from Santa Clara in the 20th century. Grace’s pottery is in the White House Collection as well as in numerous major museums throughout the United States.
In her early career, Grace became known for her miniature pots, in which she usuallly used the sgraffito technique. She went on to develop and refine traditional Santa Clara incised designs, such as in this pot. Notice the avanyu (water serpent) design, developed and enlarged in the canvas of the bowl. The incising of the design is impeccable. -
