Outstanding Golfing
Clown Kachina! This Clown Carving is captured in the process of
taking a swing at a Golf ball. The motion and porportion are absolutely
amazing! Neil did a stunning job at creating a great facial
expression on this doll. The Clown or Koshari has many names,
which give some information about his origin. Koshari is the most commonly used
name for the clown. The Koshari can be found in many different pueblos. He can
be considered to be the father of Kachinas. These clowns are both sacred and
profane to the people. Their actions are both humiliating and funny. Carvers
usually add their own styles into the making of the clown, depending on what
they see as funny or humiliating. Carving the clown gives the carver the
opportunity to carve a piece of their personality into the
doll.
World renowned artist Neil David Sr. is one of the
best carvers around. His name and his work are easily recognized and associated
with the Hopi Culture. Neil's name is not only synonymous with Kachinas, but he
is also known as an excellent painter, and writer. His drawings and writing of
Hopi culture have been used in many published books. When it comes to Kachinas,
great detail, and unique expressions, well that has been Neil's trademark since
he started carving in 1978. The David's name has a long line of excellent
Kachina carvers Neil was taught to carve by his family, but mainly by his
father. Neil hopes that he can keep that tradition going, by passing on his
experiences and accomplishments to his sons. He was born on March 20, 1944 in
Keams Canyon, Arizona. Neil Belongs to the Parrot & Kachina
Clans.
