He works primarily with cottonwood root, natural pigments, feathers, and other materials to create pieces that honor Hopi spiritual traditions. His carvings often feature vibrant colors (e.g., blues, reds, and earth tones) and are signed on the base, sometimes with dates like \"97\" for works from the 1990s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eKayquoptewa's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003e dolls are in the \"old-style\" or traditional Hopi aesthetic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf1\"\u003e—simple yet expressive, with arms close to the body, minimal carving for movement, and focus on symbolic details like masks, ruffs, and headdresses.
