Abraham Begay (1953-)
+ Add Artist to My Preferences
Abraham Begay's (1953-) silverwork resembles overlay style practiced by Hopi craftsmen but it appears that rather than forming from two individual sheets of silver and overlaying one over the other, Begay seems to carve away silver to reveal a deeper layer, perhaps with a Dremmel tool. That is speculation as the technique could possibly take a different turn.
