Native American pottery Cochiti Vangie Suina Storyteller in Pueblo clay.
Vangie Suina has mastered a pottery technique that belongs exclusively to her. The result is a degree of finish and finesse that is unmistakable, and highly valued by collectors. While many call these storyteller figures, the originator of the idea called the female figures, ‘Singing Mothers’.
In this piece, Vangie Suina has presented a female singer who is holding a bowl containing ears of corn. On each arm, there are four children who are the targets of the message. The entire presentation is within a symbolic opened corn shuck.
Mary Evangeline “Vangie” Suina was born in the 1960s into the Cochiti Pueblo. She was taught by her mother, Louise Suina, how to work with clay, from mixing it, fining it and forming the figures by hand, to firing each piece outdoors, just her ancestors did.
