What he is going to carve comes from the spirit in the stone and his spirit,

his mind and his imagination.  His mastery of capturing spirit in stone continues to captivate an audience for his work.

Changes to his style are a natural development.  His work today features different coloured serpentine stone for eye inlays.  In the past the eye inlays have been either ivory or caribou antler with dark serpentine.  He carves mainly large scale sculptures.  He sometimes takes the stone to its limit carving it thin, as thin as he can, making pieces fluid and transforming.  Birds continue to be a favourite theme.  Birds, fish, Shaman, transformations and masks have shown themselves in the stone.
