George Federoff Inlaid Wood Bowl
About the Item
In 1947 George Federoff moved to Sitka, Alaska as an artist employed by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior assigned to reinvigorate the interest in native craft. His work there inspired him to the forms and materials of the culture, and after six years he resigned his position and became an independent craftsmen, working from his home in Sitka. His tools were mostly handmade, keeping with the historical tradition. He did also use power tools, but sparingly.
" The subtle variations of form and surfaces are often destroyed by pure mechanical process".
Aside from the distinctive forms, his inlay of walrus and mastodon ivory was a unique revival in native handmade woodware. By the late 1950's his work was shown in several permanent museum collections, The Museum of Contemporary Craft, NY and a prize winning exhibition at The Walker Arts Center, MN.
