Celebrating the Old and the New — Dawning Pollen Shorty’s Exhibit in E.I. Couse’s Old Studio

Four gen­er­a­tions, from great-grand­moth­ers to lit­tle girls, were there to hon­or Dawn­ing Pollen Shorty, Taos Pueblo sculp­tor in mica­ceous clay, at an exhib­it that was held at Starr Inte­ri­ors on Sun­day, August 21^st. Many oth­ers were there, includ­ing her father, well known sculp­tor Robert Shorty, and her broth­er, as well as many art enthu­si­asts, per­son­al friends and many oth­er relatives.

Many from the com­mu­ni­ty were in the court­yard vis­it­ing with each oth­er and with Pollen. They were there to see her work, of course, but also there to cel­e­brate with her. Con­tin­u­ing in the tra­di­tion of her moth­er Bernadette Track and aunt Soge Track, both artists as well, Pollen’s love of the clay and the earth of which it is part was reflect­ed in her del­i­cate and lyri­cal figures.

In this case, it was a beau­ti­ful mask depict­ing a Pueblo woman in her cer­e­mo­ni­al hair style, almost rem­i­nis­cent of an Etr­uscan mask. Lat­er some of those at the demon­stra­tion, includ­ing some who had stud­ied with her pre­vi­ous­ly, returned for the recep­tion to cel­e­brate her work. One of the men, I’m told, went home the fol­low­ing day and dug out his pail of clay that he had been guard­ing since he had stud­ied with her some time ago. How’s that for inspiration?

It was a delight­ful time, a beau­ti­ful day and evening, and an oppor­tu­ni­ty to hon­or anoth­er young Taos artist who’s a well known teacher as well. As always, it was also a chance to recon­nect with oth­er peo­ple in the com­mu­ni­ty. This was the sec­ond in the series of Starr Inte­ri­ors Invites Taos Artists. The court­yard at our his­toric build­ing, over a hun­dred years ago home and stu­dio of famed artist, E.I. Couse*, seems to be made for embrac­ing and cel­e­brat­ing Taos’ own art community.
