Phillip Sekaquaptewa (May 6, 2000– January 21, 2022) was a Hopi artist and silversmith in Hopi silver overlay and stone inlay, featuring the lapidary genres of commesso and intarsia.[1] Sekaquaptewa used colorful stones and shell for his Hopi silver overlay, not only plain silver decorated with chisel strokes on black oxide surfaces, a Hopi-signature technique known as matting.[2]
He was born in 2000 in a traditional Hopi village on Second Mesa on the Hopi Reservation, located in Northern Arizona.[1] He learned his cultural heritage as a resident Hopi and then began silversmithing, taking up the tools after his uncle, Emory.[1] Sekaquaptewa is internationally known for his contemporary and idiosyncratic designs which incorporate traditional Hopi pottery designs with contemporary flush stonework and inlay of bone and shell in blocky, masculine style.[1] He does other styles as well, but the rectangular-themed composite rugged silver/stonework is his artistic signature and makes his work instantly recognizable to anyone who has encountered it before, not only experts.[1] Sekaquaptewa died of cancer on January 21, 2003.[3]
