ROXANNE SWENTZEL Santa Clara Pueblo 1996
PUEBLO ARTISTS, PORTRAITS
I photographed the Southwest Pueblo families of artists and artisans in New Mexico and Arizona showing traditional, centuries-old techniques together with the artistic vision of the contemporary Pueblo artists. The portraits highlight the continuation of traditional artistic vision and the emergence of important and unique contemporary art movements, demonstrating the relaltionship between the historic and the new and how they coexist.
