Sonwai & Ken Williams Jr. – August, 2022

SONWAI –
We are pleased to present our 9th annual show of Hopi master jeweler Sonwai, Verma Nequatewa. Sonwai’s latest collection is that of an artist at the peak of her career. Her work perfectly balances technical precision with organic textures. Working from her studio in Hotevilla built by her uncle Charles Loloma, Verma Nequatewa is able to work pushing the boundaries of contemporary jewelry while honoring the rich traditions of the past.

KEN WILLIAMS JR. –
Ken Williams Jr. recent work springs forth from the fertile ground of his imagination much as the night blooming cereus opens before your eyes, rapidly and astonishingly.
The verdant opulence of monsoon afternoons and the rich colors of desert plants in full bloom are reflected in his carefully sourced selection of semi precious stones and vintage beads.
William’s latest collection finds inspiration in daily life, but relies on his unique vision to turn sights from an evening walk or a remembered childhood treat into his remarkable beadwork.
