Katsitsionni Fox
Katsitsionni Fox is Bear Clan from the Mohawk Nation Territory of Akwesasne. She is a practicing artist, educator and filmmaker whose work draws inspiration from Haudenosaunee culture and current realities. Fox received an Associate in Fine Arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico (1989). She received a BA in Studio Arts from SUNY Potsdam (1995) and an MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College at Norwich University in Montpelier, Vermont (2000). Katsitsionni’s work has been exhibited across Turtle Island for over 20 years. She is part of a movement to revitalize traditional Haudenosaunee pottery, which was not practiced for centuries. Each piece she creates comes into form with great intention and continued connection to all living things, including the clay that comes from our Mother Earth. Her recent pottery work fuses traditional Haudenosaunee pottery techniques with contemporary themes and mixed media.
