Wild West Show, 1996-2003

Clay, paint

Originally, this vessel had a dog lid, honoring a beloved rescue dog. Later, Folwell painted a response to events after September 11, 2001 as a Western: "It was a terrorizing period because of the decisions that President Bush made for the future. He's a sheriff riding in the desert in shootout mode, looking for someone. At the bottom, Osama bin Laden is lying in the weeds. Bush couldn't find him and is running right over him."

Roober Stampede, 1990

Clay, paint

Innovatively using rubber stamping as decoration, Folwell wryly comments upon art market forces imposed on Pueblo potters. Stampeding horses represent both frenzied artists finishing work and pushy collectors swarming artists' booths, the play on the word "robber" indicating an unspoken undercurrent in the marketplace. Jody expresses "Curators and collectors were disrupting our village's pottery history because they wanted things static. I had to claw my way up that hill and take back Kha po pottery from the marketplace."

The Hero Pot, 1984

Clay, paint

This collaborative work between Folwell and fellow artist Bob Haozous created a sensation at the 1984 Santa Fe Indian Market. Judges disagreed on whether this pot was "Pueblo" enough in color and shape, or if it represented innovation. "I wanted to do something exciting," says Folwell, "that whole fullness of the piece represents the culture and history of my people." This piece won Best of Show, opening floodgates for other potters' innovations, and an abundant use of green and non-traditional slips in the years that followed.
