Arctic Transformations: The Jewelry of Denise & Samuel Wallace

by Lois Sherr Dubin

This is the second in a series of books on contemporary master American Indian jewellers, established artists who are recognized and respected by their peers. Jewellery is the major art form of the series since it is an important means of cultural and artistic expression within Native North American communities. The books explore how personal style is created within cultural style, and how miniaturization - inherent within jewellery - compresses larger concepts into smaller and more comprehensible imagery.
