THE MOHAWK WARRIOR CONTEMPLATES HIS FUTURE
Printed on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic VC Digital Paper, 37.5″ x 37″
A teenage Mohawk man from waist up, his face and body painted with blacks in a traditional Mohawk way, but the image re-painted in a digital artist’s way, in teal greens. He is surrounded by other versions of his potential self, in rich reds and browns.
AYAHUASCA JAGUAR

An image of a Native elder looms above and inside a valley, in which tipis are visible. The colors are hot pinks and other bright hues, fragmented and pixelated. The atmosphere is one of Wisdom bearing witness to chaos and destruction.

WESAKECHAK THE TRICKSTER
Printed on Premium Watercolour Paper, 27″ x 33.5″
This looks like a real black and white (greyscale) photograph of an impossible not quite human creature. The Trickster is described in countless Native legends as the sacred fool, who is in turn dangerous, obscene, and funny. My image which I call ‘the only known photo of the Trickster’ isn’t at all obscene, although there is something somewhat gluteus maximus about the face; but it is mostly curious. It is available as an Iris print; however, it can be installed backlit as a semi-opaque Ilfordchrome, framed in an old weathered window frame so that it appears he’s looking in the window of a reservation house. Life size.
NEON HULA

Three dancers in a dream, their bodies outlined in neon.
SELF PORTRAIT
Printed on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic VC Digital Paper, 33″ x 45.5″
A photo was imported into my computer and I played with it. It is a headshot where I was wearing a lightweight veil; black hair, blackened background; and streaks of very interesting computer colors in some feathers.
HANDS: THE COMING OF THE DIGITAL AGE
Printed on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic VC Digital Paper, 49″ x 66″
A self portrait in deep greens and blues, and red and white. Very much pixelated. This image was used as the logo for the Pixel Pushers Exhibit of Digital Art at the Emily Carr College of Fine Art in Vancouver in June of 1994, and received rave reviews from Howard Rheingold, author of Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier, and in the San Francisco Examiner.
ELDER BROTHERS
Printed on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic VC Digital Paper, 49.5″ x 60.6″
