For
Mitchell Zephier, called Pretty Voice Hawk in the Lakota language,
artistry, teaching, and social activism are important tribal values
taught to him, as a child, by his grandparents. Zephier
favors working with "gifts of the South Dakota land: petrified
wood, jade, agates, rose quartz, red or black pipestone, garnets,
and bone...With the inlay technique, I'm trying to duplicate the earth
colors of hide painting. The colors are significant. |
