We haven’t had a piece by Chris Youngblood in a while, and I am so pleased to present this new “Four Directions” black carved bowl. As soon as I saw it, I knew I loved this bowl. It is one of his intricately carved vessels that reflect a perfect balance of matte and polished surfaces. He is alternating the surface elements that are polished with matte backgrounds. Each side of the bowl is different, yet the carvings flow around the entire surface of the clay. The bowl is highly polished and fired to a glassy black. The opening area is matte in contrast to the polished rib designs. The same black matte work is show between the ribs and in the underbelly of the bowl. I like that Chris has stated “I am proud to be from Santa Clara pueblo. I make pieces that reflect what I am feeling.” You can tell that with this new work of art.
It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Chris Youngblood” with a mountain peak.
