There
is an unspoken challenge among artists and craftsmen to express their creativity in
increasingly refined media. For some this challenge may be met by the use of different
materials, or colors, or subjects. For others it can be met by a change in scale. The
nature of miniatures is especially appealing because of the precision required to execute
refined art in small scale. For many years now there has been a growing involvement by
well known Southwest Indian families to the creation of unparalleled works of art in
miniature. Tiny baskets just to look at, far too small to be practical, but what a feat to
create. And pots so small that only skilled artists, so self assured, can decorate them in
relative scale. The time and effort expended in their creation often are no less, in fact,
than full size objects.
