One of today’s leading contemporary Native artists, Phillip honors his culture through his contemporary expression of traditional Yup’ik masks and culture. His medium consists of wood, clay (raku and horsehair fired), porcelain glass, bronze, copper, and various other materials, as well as monotype printmaking. Phillip's work has been shown at the Smithsonian, Eiteljorg, Bishop, Hallie Ford, Washington State History, and Heard Museums. In 2006, Phillip was honored with the Artists Choice award for one of his sculptures at the Santa Fe Indian Art Market, and in 2008 he received the Best of Division and First Place awards for one of his “Medicine” series mono type prints.

Visions

This beautiful small mask is made of red clay and has been horse-hair fired. The top part shows the artist's unique method, developed by him, of finishing clay to look like wood. The white tufts at the top are polar bear fur, and the beads are all bone.

Little F

This was a challenge piece made for the teenage skate boarders that hang around the house. It started when one of them brought him a broken skateboard and said "I'll bet you can't make a mask out of this." That was followed by donations of a second broken board, and then wheels and bearings... When the thought of naming the piece came up, my significant other said "Little F*cker" because that is, unfortunately, what skate boarders are too often called. You know, things like "hey you little f*cker, get out of here!" This piece brings respect out of disrespect. A "No Skateboarding" sign recently appeared, (no questions asked) and that will be added, along with the bearings and wheels, sort of as a necklace... This piece bears Fallen image (Fallen Footwear is a line produced by well-known skater Jamie Thomas) on the forehead. Phillip, who is an old school skate boarder himself, and the boys have bought Fallen shoes, and when he was finishing the piece, that image came to mind. Black Box Distribution has given us permission to display and sell the piece with that image intact. For information on how to obtain this piece through our rental and leasing program, please contact the artist directly.

Ram pin made of raku clay. Great for hats, coats, ties, or whatever a person thinks of as a way to wear. Also can be used as spirit protectors in the home, for instance, to hang as curtain decorations in each room. Small version of the Singing Spirits, this pin makes a wonderful gift for yourself or someone else, especially for someone who is grieving or in recovery from an illness or other traumatic life situation.

Crane Yua

Since winning the Artists Choice award at the Santa Fe Indian Art Market in 2006, I've been asked a number of times to recreate that piece. Each of my pieces is original, so while I never have and never will fully, I have made smaller pieces based on that 6 foot award winning crane. This crane yua mask is one of my personal favorites and is a beautiful representation of the crane yua.
