Primal call

Article Abstract:

Carver Steve Stegall's works include carvings on gemstones and on fossil walrus ivory mainly from the Bering Sea. His works incorporate some of the ivory's natural texture. They could be mistaken for ancient museum pieces, if not for the 20th-century art influence, particularly in their sculptural bases.
