Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Wilfred Kaye

I carve kachina sculptures with a knife on cottonwood root gathered locally. I use a brush to paint with acrylic and the natural surfaces are stained. The sculptures created from my personal knowledge of kachinas who visit my village throughout the year. The extended length of my carvings allow for space to include my stories related to the kachinas.
