Cochiti
Pueblo fetish carver Salvador Romero.
Romero
harvests field stones from the pueblo grounds, choosing those
that his eye and heart feel already have the creature embedded
in them. His carvings are characteristically rough and impressionistic.
They carry his individual artist's perception of the animal
in the stone. Aboriginals: Art of the First Person
is the exclusive retailer of Salvador Romero's fetish carvings
in the southeastern U.S.
Romero
was featured in the fall 1999 issue of Native Artists magazine.
