"Uncle"
by Keith Torres, Hopi
Description: Cottonwood carving with natural pigments.
About this Award: Awarded to the Katsina carving that best portrays adherence to traditional representation and use of materials.
Jurors' Comments:
Rex Arrowsmith: Very well-carved, well-painted, nice overall design. Very fine piece.
David Johns: I chose this because it's a Hopi kachina, and a lot of tribes do kachinas these days, but this is a beautiful, genuine Hopi piece.
Larry King: The carving represents Hopi "Uncle" and it shows a lot of skill, excellence, and fine detail. The body movement all around is very good.
