"Killer Whale/Eagle Amulet is a glass sculpture. The Killer Whale is my crest symbol associated with the Tlingit tribe of Alaska. I have made sculpture related to my ancestry since 1988. This sculpture is inspired by small bone amulets that are talisman forms that are worn as necklaces or charms used for healing rituals."
