Hi. My name is Roy Walters Jr. I am a Native American artist. I do sculpture and painting
and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. I do stone sculptures out of different, various
stones from all over the world. This is a stone from Indiana. It's called Indiana limestone.
Right now I am just getting the basic outline where it's going to go. This is going to be
Jade, too, so it'll have a certain look to it; a Deity, Navajo Deity. You'll see some
of the cutting process. A lot of work in this. Very dusty, very dirty. I work with all kinds
of different stones, like Carrara marble from Italy, marbles from here in the United States,
like Pink Tennessee marble, Colorado marble, a lot of different types of Granite, alabaster
from Utah, Talient Alabaster, Onyx. Some of it I can get from here in the ground. Some
of it you have to purchase from different Quarries. I get stone imported from different
parts of the world like France and Portugal and Italy and Romania. All over the world.
All over the world. Italy is the main source where most of the stones go to. That's where
you would buy a lot of the stones at. I met friends when I was in Italy, when I was studying
in Italy, that were there and made good contacts with them so they actually supply me with
a lot of the work that I, a lot of the stones that I get.
