Native clay, Private Collection
Richard Zane Smith (Wyandot) works in the ancient Southwestern Anasazi style referred to by archaeologists as "corrugated ware." This delicate and time-consuming method involves hand rolled coils of native clay, shingle lapped, slip painted with multiple shades of color and either electric kiln or wood fired in an adobe kiln. Unlike others in this exhibition, Smith doesn't come from "generations of potters like so many out here are. I don't fit into the Indian artists stereotype," he says. "But at the same time, I am strongly rooted in the Wyandot people."
