The Anazazi were the ancient pueblo peoples who mostly inhabited the Southwest Four Corners regions, notably Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde and other well-known historical sites. The pottery excavated in areas of this region was extensive, but on occasion they have been found in very remote places, like in hidden caves where they have been protected for centuries.

This sculpture was inspired by the photos I was shown by the owners of a remote tract of land. In exploring their property, they had discovered a mostly intact, beautiful example of an Anazazi pot.

Not wanting to remove it from the sanctuary that had protected it for centuries, they chose to leave it in the cave and to take only the photographs of it. I am honored to have the opportunity to recreate and share it’s beauty in bronze.
