5. Style Totems, two 24-inch aluminum (or stainless steel) sculpture in five 1/4 inch offset plates. It also serves as a maquette for larger works up to 30 feet. This is one of several the artist has designed as simplified standing stele or “new totems” based on intentionally truncated or disassociated formal elements of classic Northwest Coast formline art (or “flat design”), comprised not of discernable figures but only of informed design references to a style.
