​Virgil Ortiz is a multi-media artist from Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico. Primarily known for his pottery, he also makes films and designs clothing and jewelry, sometimes combining all of these skills into his striking productions. Ortiz's work blends traditional techniques and design with futuristic ideas influenced by science-fiction.  He endeavors to keep alive the Cochiti pottery tradition practiced by generations of his family while bringing this into the contemporary world and beyond.
