Salvador Romero Page Three
This page is devoted to the work of Salvador Romero, pictured with Susanne Waites, owner of Aboriginals: Art of the First Person and ZuniLink. Salvador is Cochiti, not Zuni, as is his brother, Wilson Romero, whose work also is included on this site. We have added Salvador's carvings and Wilson's carvings to this ZunLink site because of the inspirational quality of their work, which is very different in technique from that of Zuni carvers. Whereas Zuni carvers tend to use more formal materials including semiprecious stones and mined minerals, Salvador and Wilson use rocks that are found laying in the open on the stream banks and fields of the Cochiti Pueblo. As a result, their carvings are more organic and rougher than those of their Zuni or Navajo counterparts.
