"Martin Cota and Manuel Rodriguez are probably the two most creative and exuberant designers among the
second generation potters" The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz, pg.91This special piece certainly attests to Martin's
remarkable creativity and artistic talent.
As is his classic style, this wonderful olla combines a bold geometrical contemporary design and traditional Mimbres motifs. This time he is
also introducing a delicate interior color that symbolizes water and the walls of the pot depict activities related to water, such as fishing.
Undoubtedly a very creative piece!
Martin won first place in the annual Concurso de
Ceramica de Mata Ortiz 2009 that took place in September 2009 in the Most Innovative category.
