He made this lovely silver pendant for his wife. The shape of the pendant echoed the combined form of the geese. The inspiration for the bird design came from a well-known Ontario-born Ojibwa artist whose work John particularly admires. The fluid lines of the geese that John accented with liver of sulfur treatment remind many people of Benjamin Chee-Chee (1944-1977)'s minimalist style. A brief biography and some of his work can be seen here.
