Works are sculpted from porcelain and fired between2000 and 2300 degrees. The brilliant colours and fabric textures are achieved by various combinations of stain, chalks and translucents for a permanent finish and soft patina.

Each sculpture represents an historical moment and/or an aspect of culture or custom. Clothing is such as would be worn during the activity represented as well as according to the tribe involved.

Such detail is gleaned from libraries, museums and archives. In more recent years, writings by Indian people themselves has provided some of the information.
