Tom Joyce, Kelly Eckel, Virgil Ortiz
Challenging established ideas about forging and casting iron, Santa Fe sculptor Tom Joyce’s cutting edge artwork connects the past, present, and future.
“Every forging that I produce a piece of sculpture from holds and embodies in many ways everything that’s ever been made before it and everything that will come after that.”
KELLY ECKEL
Remnants of war, scratched surfaces, morphogenic etchings… Kelly Eckel connects her inspiration to the world around her using photographic techniques.
“Art has changed perception for me, the way I perceive the world. I don’t see myself as unique, I’m a part of a system and that’s what I find beauty in.”
VIRGIL ORTIZ
From a family of traditional potters, Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz has expanded his work to the realms of fashion and film making.
“Everything that I do tells a story of where the Cochiti Pueblo people came from and their ceramics from the 1800s.”
