Lance Cheama
|
October 97'
I had the pleasure this trip of spending the better part
of a day with Lance Cheama and his brothers
Dan Quam and Wilfred and some of their friends.
As we all talked, Lance worked on a Wolf fetish.
He would pick it up, hold it to the wheel for a few moments, then put it down.
Each
time letting me see the progress. This wolf fetish seemed to come
alive before my eyes. It did not seem possible that
in those brief
moments the stone touched the wheel the
stone could evolve so.
Rather, it was as if Lance willed a stone to life.
The grinding was irrelevant.

Zuni Fetish Brown Picasso Marble Fox
Carved by Lance Cheama
Lance was among the
founders of the lifelike
style of carving. It was primarily he who
helped other Zuni carvers learn this
very difficult carving.
Staley Natewa and
Travis Lasiloo are but two
Zuni carvers who learned from Lance.
