When this style is seen, it is immediately recognizable as the work of Artist Yoly Ledezma. The 3 Dimensional checkered pattern created on this scale is not easily mastered. The brick red and black glaze, as well as the changing sizes of squares in each row tell us this is Artist Ledezmas work. From different angles new patterns appear. Looking straight down on it reveals a nearly moving vortex. Starting with a basic design - checkered squares - an incredible three dimensional effect comes alive.
This piece varies from Yolys usual creations. This is a large, solid, nearly round piece, similar in shape to the native gourds that line the streets of Mata Ortiz. It feels good when held and is an object that deserves the best care.
Artist Ledezmas signature is on the bottom.
