| Name: |
Killer Whale/ Wolf Transformation
Bracelet #115/200 |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
8½" long. |
| Comments: |
The longer of the two examples of this design we
have, this is a vintage piece from just a few years ago, number 115 in this
series. In this bracelet, it's the central face that is the Wolf/Killer Whale,
and the fastener is a "toggle", which some prefer as it can be easy to
manipulate. From Denise: This bracelet represents the
Killer Whale and Wolf Transformation story. A friend’s uncle had seen
Killer Whales who transformed themselves into wolves and crawled on the
land. Killer Whales and wolves have similar lifestyles; they live and
hunt in family pods or packs, staying together fro extended periods of
time, and they mate for life. They both have a hierarchical system with
the family. |

| Title: |
Sea Otter Pin/Pendant
#2/5 |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
3" X 1¼" |
| Description: |
Denise first designed this Sea Otter Mother and Baby shortly
after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The spill occurred in the Prince
William Sound where Denise's family lives and her siblings and
extended family were directly affected by the tragedy and
participated in efforts to save the otters that were contaminated with
oil. The human form on the body of the mother otter reminds us that
we're all connected and that what we do to the animals and the
environment also affects the people. The simple form flows as if you
can feel the otter floating on the water while you wear it. |

| Title: |
Double Seal Pendant
#3/5 |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
4" tall; 2.5" wide; Fish
earrings are 1.5" tall |
| Description: |
Denise Wallace always likes to create designs that have
historical precedents - there is a "Two Seals" design found in ancient
artifacts from Alaska. This wonderful pendant depicts a pair of seals
and their main food - the fish of the cold ocean. In this case, the
fish are Halibut. Each of the seals has a flatfish built into it's
body - these fish are actually separate pieces of jewelry that can be
removed and worn as earrings.
Denise has added her own seal/fish story to this design which makes
it even more wonderful:
Several years ago, Denise was with members of her family, fishing for
Halibut in the cold waters near Cordova, Alaska. Denise hooked a big
one, and was hauling it in when a seal grabbed it from her hook,
stealing her catch. This moment of frustration is captured in this
piece—note the sad face between the two seals, and their bellies full
of flatfish (Halibut). These two fish can be liberated by wearing
them as earrings! |

Ivory Face Cufflinks (with Lapis) |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
Faces are 7/8" X 1/2" and 13/16" X 9/16" |
| Desciption: |
Based on the earring design of the same name, these are truly
interesting cufflinks - be aware you'll get lots of questions!
From Denise: "Many people ask the reason for the facial
expressions on the male and female faces. There seem to be many
different stories behind this, but the one I am going to tell you comes
from my friend Chuna McIntyre. This is a short version of the story:
"At one time there was a brother and a sister. The brother flew up to
the sky and turned into the sun. His sister flew up crying, and turned
into the moon. Hence, the reason for the upturned mouth on the male
faces, and the downturned mouth on the female faces."" |

Woman in the Moon
Ring |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
This is the smaller of the
two rings Denise made in this design; The outer bezel surrounding
the face is 1.25" tall and this example is ring size 6 (it cannot
be adjusted - call for more information). |
| Description: |
Circa 1990. In beautiful,
seemingly never-worn condition. From Denise: "This
design comes from a mask carved by both Eskimo and Athabascan natives.
The idea of the woman in the moon reminds us of our sister who became
the moon. The designs on the cheeks or chins were
added by our neighbors, the Athabascans. We have included these designs
in our work. This design is one of the pieces I have worked with for
some time. The first "Woman in the Moon" reminded me of my grandmother.
As a result, I think of her through the design." |

Name:
UNDER THE SEA
Belt
Date: Summer, 2008
What's notable about this piece: This was designed and created
by Dawn Wallace-Gadd, with all the lapidary work done by her brother,
David Wallace. It is a complicated, complex piece that is, in fact,
thirty-one separate pieces of jewelry!
|
|
|
|
Name:
King Island Dancer Belt
Date: 1989
What's notable about this piece: Always in a private,
professionally-curated collection, this belt remains brand-new (after twenty
years). It has been featured in advertising, used as an illustration for
cultural anthropology and was a key part of the museum exhibit "Arctic
Transformation: The Jewelry of Denise and Samuel Wallace." |
|
|
|
Name:
Seal Hunting Belt
Date: 1986
What's notable about this piece: This belt was created in the period
just after Denise and Wally began exploring the new idea of using a belt as
a collection of separate pieces depicting Native Alaskan Life - it is an
explosion of artistic creativity, and with all these new ideas fleshed out it
is perhaps the most appealing belt to many of Denise's admirers. |
|
|
|
Name: Originally
”Alaska, The Land and Spirit of
My People”, we now often refer to this famous piece as
the Spirit of Alaska Belt"
Date: November, 1984
What's notable about this piece: This is
"The Missing Link" in
the story of Denise
Wallace Jewelry. Secreted away by the private owner since new in late
1984, this is belt is the bridge between the Wallace's early use of
geometric designs and their subsequent decision to depict Denise's
Alaskan heritage in their jewelry. There is only one other belt with
work on two sides of each segment. |
