Santa Fe Erotica

Edited by Madelyn Miller
Santa Fe Clay opens an exhibit entitled XXX guest
curated by Sandy Besser. And some of the founding fathers like Bishop Lemay
might be turning over in their graves.
The show theme is erotica and this international
exhibit is intended to show the diverse range of work being made by a group
of twenty sculptors responding to this theme.

these highly skilled artists has chosen the ceramic medium as their
vehicle. Some of these artists are well known while others are just now
beginning to gain recognition.

Tom Bartel, Susan Beiner, Russell Biles, Becky Bogard, Jason Briggs, Neil
Brownsword, Jim Budde, Michael Corney, Marko Fields, Tim Foss, Dana
Groemminger, Ingrid Hendrix, John Jensen, Ryan Kelly, Max Lehman, Bob Rose,
Dee Schaad, Jinsoo Song, Jinsoo Song and Jessica Calderwood, Dirk Staschke,
Noi Volkov, and Irina Zaytceva.
Sandy Besser has been collecting art for forty years.
His focus has been drawing, ceramic sculpture and vessels and art from the
tribal cultures of several continents. He has served as Chairman of the
Board of the Arkansas Arts Center, Treasurer of the America Craft Council
and Chairman of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. He serves on the Board

Random Thought
Why does it seem that everyone in Santa Fe is either a chef or a massage
therapist or has a family member who is? Maybe that is why you get such
great food and massages in Santa Fe.

The Turquoise Trail leads to Hotel Santa Fe...
Just check out the fashion-conscious these days, and what you'll find is a
plethora of turquoise, the deep blue of a summer sky, the perfect contrast
for a summer tan, and the stone that for centuries has been the sacred stone
and favorite adornment of Native Americans. So where would you expect to
find the turquoise Mother Lode? Just follow the Turquoise Trail to the
Picuris Art and Gift Shop at Hotel Santa Fe, where Manager Joan Greer has
assembled a stellar collection of turquoise jewelry gleaned from neighboring
reservations and pueblos and at prices that permit loading on the treasures,
Native-American style. For example, there's a 5-strand necklace of turquoise
beads or a single-strand necklace of turquoise heishi - the flat turquoise
beads that are a specialty of Santo Domingo Pueblo -- mixed with nuggets.
Hand-hammered coin silver beads are interspersed with turquoise beads, while
oversize nuggets of turquoise make impressive earrings. The pièce de
resistance: an impressive silver-and-turquoise concho belt, guaranteed to
create a sensation back home.
