THE GIFT
Commissioned- Anchorage, Alaska
A gift from loving parents to their daughters' family!
This set of Yup’ik dance fans are reminiscent of the form our forefathers created. These functional ‘Finger Mask’ dance fans are my interpretation of this ancient style.
They represent a happy couple, content on this grand adventure through life!
