Although my hands gather and shape elements of the earth, it is the primal force of fire that completes my work. Earth, Air, Fire and Water: the four sacred elements that are the breath of life.
These are the gifts with which I give honor to the teachings of my ancestors.It was in 1964 that Chief Little Elk, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, gave me my native name, Jikiwe (my friend), so it is with that name that I sign my work in remembrance of who I am and where I came from. Welcome to this extension of my studio. Participate in my work by browsing my site, but I encourage you to visit in person.
