Jody Folwell
Jody Folwell -Turipa (born 1942, Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico) is a Native American potter and artist. One of nine children in the Naranjo family of Santa Clara potters and artists, Folwell is one of the best-known avant-garde Pueblo potters. Lee Cohen, the late owner of Gallery 10 in Santa Fe and Scottsdale, referred to Folwell as the "first impressionist potter" for her "innovative, off-round, uneven-lipped, asymmetrical polished pots". Folwell is known for her use of social commentary and satire in her pots.[1] In 1984, she collaborated with sculptor Bob Haozous to create a pot that received the Best of Show award at Santa Fe Indian Market.[2] Fowler's pots are in the permanent collection of the National Museum of the American Indian.
Folwell has two daughters, Susan Folwell[3] and Polly Rose Folwell, who are both accomplished, award-winning potters. In 2009-2010 the Heard Museum featured works by all three women in their "Mothers & Daughters: Stories in Clay" exhibit.[4] Folwell’s mother, Rose Naranjo,[5] was also an accomplished Santa Clara potter.[2]
Of her work, Folwell has said, "I think of each piece as an artwork that has something to say on its own, a statement about life. I think of myself as being a contemporary potter and a traditionalist at the same time. Combining the two is very emotional and exciting to me."[1]
