Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Ryan Gashweseoma

The primary material used is cottonwood root that has been thoroughly dried out. Carving into the wood involves the use of Xacto knives of various sizes and for shaping of the doll itself, I use a rasp. Paints are a mixture of natural earth pigment paints and some acrylics to achieve colors difficult to find naturally.
