Grizzly Bear, 1989by Dale Faulstich, non-Indigenousframed Silkscreen printedition 400/95018” high x 25” wide x 1” deep In a style as rhythmic and flowing as it is complex, Dale Faulstich creates three-dimensional wood and bronze sculptures that combine contemporary images shaped by traditional forms. His years of designing and carving in this style are evident through the simplicity of his designs and the intensity of the feeling they evoke. Faulstich has created masks, totem poles, steamed bentwood boxes, animal form bowls, rattles, drums and other ceremonial objects. He also has produced carved doors and wall panels and successfully used the art form in a variety of contemporary applications that can be found in many private collections throughout the United States. The artist has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe of Sequim, Washington. This collaboration has led to many commissioned art works in and around the Tribe’s Administration Building and
