Gene Kloss spent several months each year in Taos, drawing, painting, and pulling prints of the pueblo ceremonies she witnessed. The Deer Dance is a celebration of the promise of renewal, light against darkness- which you see in this etching- that takes place near the winter solstice. Keresan refers to the people, culture, and language of seven of the Pueblos, including Laguna, Acoma, and Cochiti. Kloss’s etching centers on a woman dancing, but the etching as a whole is a transmission of energy, pageantry, mystery, and continuity.
-James D. Balestrieri
