VIRGIL ORTIZ: SLIPSTREAM
VIRGIL ORTIZ (b. 1969) is a visionary artist and designer as well as an enrolled member of the Cochiti Pueblo; Ortiz first trained with his mother, Serafina Ortiz (1931-2007), and grandmother, Laurence R. Herrera (1912-1984). Celebrated artists in their own rights, these matriarchs imparted their ancestors' techniques to the younger Ortiz, who, to this day, continues to gather clay, pumice, and wild spinach leaves from his Pueblo homelands to make his painted pottery, just as generations of creators and makers before him have done. His work embodies all that is energizing and engaging in the broad panorama of contemporary art.
