The Flute Player
Kokopelli is one of the most easily recognized 6igures found in the petroglyphs and pictographs of the Southwest. The earliest known petroglyph of the 6igure dates to about 1000 AD. Kokopelli is a Hopi word meaning (roughly) wooden-backed; most of the familiar depictions of Kokopelli are copied from Hopi art, which in turn is derived from ancient Anasazi glyphs Against the black rock surface formed by primal forces, this strange and lonely 6igure, with its apparent malformed back and long 6lute, seems to drift through the in6inite vastness of space, transcending time and place, sending his plaintive music across the universe. The early artist (perhaps a shaman, or medicine man, seeking an entrance way to the spirit world) may have understood a profound truth, and he may have intentionally used the surface to express the universality of that truth. My tribute to this rock carving is a bronze version of the 6lute player.

Jeff Arnett is a contemporary American sculptor whose artistic journey began with an early fascination with stone. He recalls the arrowheads his father found in Alabama and later gave to him as a child, which sparked his curiosity about how stone could be shaped to meet human needs. This interest deepened during his first studio art class at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), where he discovered his ion for sculpting with clay, wood, and wax.

Under the mentorship of art professor and sculptor Doyle Foreman, Arnett pursued an art major at UCSC, and later, a UCSC Extension class introduced him to working with stone. His involvement in Open Studios, where he engaged directly with the art public, greatly influenced his approach, inspiring him to refine his technique and take on larger projects. One notable work includes a large marble sculpture created for the UCSC Arboretum, followed by a series of large "garden" sculptures.

Throughout his career, Arnett has expanded his medium to include bronze, wood, and found art. His sculptures are now held in private collections across California, Utah, Texas, New York, and Europe.
