Jody Naranjo
Jody Naranjo has created a personal style that is at once ageless and contemporary, incorporating playful modern imagery into ancient pottery forms to produce enduring works of art. She is an innovator in a family as noted for its individualists as it is for its place in a long and storied tradition. The Naranjo family is one of several Santa Clara Pueblo dynasties that have had a major influence in making Southwestern Indian pottery famous around the world.
Naranjo literally grew up in her art. By the time she was fifteen years old, she was selling her pottery on the portal of the New Mexico History Museum, located in the historic Palace of the Governors on the Plaza in Santa Fe. When she was in her early twenties, she realized that she was not bound to ancestral designs. People were responding so positively to her own style that she simply took off with it.
Her process remains deeply traditional. She digs her clay out of a hillside on the pueblo lands, and goes through the arduous procedure of sifting, soaking, straining, and cleaning that is required to make the raw clay into a sculptural, pottery-grade medium. She is adept at the coil method of forming a long, thin roll of clay into a flat spiral to make a base, and then starting up from the rim to make walls, smoothing and building as the piece takes shape under her hands. Sometimes she carves deeply into the walls to make dimensional designs before firing, and sometimes she incises a finished piece to create delicately drawn figures. She follows the pit-firing tradition of the Pueblo potters, and uses polishing stones that belonged to her grandmother. It is a slow, lovely process that brings the clay to life just as it has for centuries.
In Naranjo’s hands, the living clay fairly sings with new ideas and wise humor. Each piece is instantly recognizable as hers alone. Her fame has spread exponentially; her work is owned by major museums and by a large and devoted following of private collectors.
Jody Naranjo breaks new ground with each departure from conventional subject matter, even as she carries on the strong art tradition into which she was born. She remains genuine and down-to-earth, having fun with her friends, and proudly mothering her three daughters. She loves to participate in Indian Market and museum shows. And year after year, she works with earth and fire to create great art, moving through her days with energy and joy.
