The exhibition Mothers & Daughters: Stories in Clay showcases 20 creative works by seven very talented women who are all part of the extended Naranjo family from Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico. Each artist uses the traditions of clay in unique ways, from pottery and sculpture to paintings and installation pieces.
