For Fall, the Makah artist John Goodwin, who also goes by Nytom, is teaming up with Supreme on a series of printed jackets, the first time the streetwear label has partnered with a Native American artist.
After briefly apprenticing with a woodcarver named Loren White in 1979, and experiencing “frustrations with my carving ability,” Goodwin then switched mediums and began engraving precious metals, such as silver, instead. By the ’80s, he also began pulling limited-edition giclée prints and screen-printing them onto clothing, one of his first forays into the world of fashion.
And culture is indeed at the heart of Goodwin’s work. It is, after all, the reason he still creates. “My art is, and has always been, about strengthening my community by having it based in our culture,” he said. “When we participate in our cultural traditions by dancing, singing, and sharing stories, we are moving forward together—the strength of our community lies in our culture.
