Zuni artist Stewart Quandelacy prefers the terms "Zuni carving" rather than "Zuni fetish." A fetish is something that is blessed by a priest and I do not bless my carvings. The power that makes a carving a fetish is the responsibility of the final recipient, or owner of the carving, through their faith and beliefs.
Stewart is well known for his Medicine Bear carvings, but his bent for aesthetic license lies in what he calls "the turnaround bear", his own original stylistic development which transcends traditional folk art, and raises the craft of Zuni fetish carving to a true art form.
