techniques, that have been used over hundreds of years, become somewhat embedded in our
physical self. Through the process of making a spear or shaping the rubbing in of the grind stone,
I connect with my ancestors and they help bring my craft to life. My work is a way for me to acknowledge and remember the times of my great grandmothers and great grandfathers and those before. My designs are inspired by the laws of nature and the forms found in the creation stories around me. Using these basic forms or designs, I work to represent the bond of land, its stories to art and the continuation of culture.”
