Synopsis
The murals are visual stories telling of familiar animals and unusual experiences that have quickened my heartbeat with fear or love. Some are from dream time and half-remembered images when humans, animals, gods, and the elements lived without hierarchy. Others are personal myths from kingdoms of alchemical minerals and symbolic animals, fused together into one totality. –Priscilla Hoback, Living Clay
In Living Clay, Priscilla Hoback details her journey deep into the creative process revealing her techniques and a unique artistic life as she follows the voice of the clay. Digging local clays, developing a vocabulary of glazes, and building high-fire kilns is work that is grounded in the earth itself. This foundation, along with a fascination for experimenting with the limits of clay - its textures, edges, and infinite variations - led her to create an original art form she calls Murals. These murals have their roots in prehistoric cave art, indigenous clays, and her own powerful response to the breathtaking canyons, open sky, and ancient beauty of the land in New Mexico. Hoback's murals depict the native animals she knows so well - herds of horses, antelope, majestic buffalo, white deer, and migratory wild birds.

About the Author
Priscilla Hoback worked as an artist in New Mexico for more than half a century ― her hands in clay and desert earth. A native Santa Fean, Hoback used the wild clays and natural pigments from around her farm in Galisteo, New Mexico, to create pottery and stoneware murals. Inspired by her garden, horses, and the wilderness around her home, Hoback's work is expressive and playful, original and timeless, contemporary and primal.
