'Back in Time' - Jason Garcia
“Back in Time”
Jason Garcia/Okuu Pín -- Santa Clara Pueblo, NM.
Jason Garcia’s work documents the ever-changing cultural landscape of his home of K’haPo Owingeh/Santa Clara Pueblo, NM. Garcia’s Tewa cultural ceremonies, traditions, and stories, as well as 21st century popular culture, comic books, and technology, influence his work. Using traditional materials and traditional Pueblo pottery techniques, along with various printmaking techniques, including lithography, serigraphy, and etching, Garcia feels that it is important to keep alive the ceramic traditions that have been passed down to him since time immemorial. He feels that these materials and techniques maintain connection to his Ancestral past and landscape, along with connecting future generations to shared Tewa cultural traditions.

Jason’s work has also been acquired by various public and private collections that include the National Museum of the American Indian, Arizona State University, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Peabody Essex Museum.
