Adrian Standing Elk Pinnecoose
Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Adrian Standing Elk Pinnecoose (Diné/Southern Ute) received his master’s degree in computational ecologies from the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture and Planning in 2017. His jewelry and prints reflect his culture, identity, and values. He often plays with geometric shapes to create innovative designs and art, using computer-generated designs.
“My culture, my identity, my values are intertwined into the fabrication of my art to begin the conversation of opening doors for the next generation of Indigenous artists. I am simultaneously looking back to the past and forward to the future in order to highlight the qualitative aspect of my heritage and weave those meanings into my designs. ”
