For this work, Christine Nofchissey McHorse used micaceous clay locally sourced in northern New Mexico. Flecks of mica glint against the black, satiny surface. McHorse learned Taos-style Pueblo pottery from her husband’s grandmother, Lena Archuleta of Taos Pueblo. McHorse’s work combines Taos and Diné (Navajo) pottery techniques with her interest in form. “I push the clay to see what the limitations are, but it seems like it doesn’t have many.”
