Dorothy Ami Hopi |
Dorothy Ami is one of the premier young Hopi potters. Her work is innovative in design, shape and clay colorations. Her fine line designs are carefully drawn and beautifully painted using a single strand of yucca and all natural pigments. Dorothys work is clean and crisp. This is no surprise when one realizes that the award winning and extremely talented Hopi potter, Mark Tahbo, has been her mentor and teacher for several years. Dorothy believes in producing fewer pieces, but ones of the highest quality and workmanship. This large pot is an outstanding example of Dorothys work. Its graceful shape is enhanced by the intricate designs painted on all four sides. A variety of kachinas ( Mother Earth; Kokle or the Story Teller; Konin or Supai Kachina) some found in old Sikyatki designs, can be seen around the neck of the vessel. Stylized eagle feathers are gracefully painted below each figure and carefully crafted checkerboard designs are also incorporated on the shoulder of the piece. This pot was exhibited at the recent Pueblo Grande Museum show and was selected as one of the outstanding pieces. It is a magnificent example of Hopi pottery. |
