Fountain's impressive body of work includes totems, masks, sculptures, his continuing energy series and the circles of life series.Fountain creates museum quality pieces of art, which are conceived on the legends and proud traditions of his people.Each dot represents a prayer of thankfulness, each triangle represents unity and each rectangle represents family. These symbols represent the strength of character, their struggle to survival, their honor and deep respect for Mother Earth and Father Sky. All of these elements come together to create the journeys and experiences of our lives.
