This piece is a documentary video as well as part of a larger multi-media project currently in development by NUAMPS, Kearsley Stewart, Senior Lecturer of WCAS Anthropology, and David Schoenbrun, Associate Professor of WCAS History, which follows the path of the chevron bead and its centuries long history in Europe, Africa, and North America. This featured cut tells the story of the chevron through its premiere master craftsman, Art Seymour, with a detailed look at his process as well as his philosophies on the culture of this prized bead. From ancient chevrons and the coast of Africa to "heavy metal" jazz beads in the Reno desert, this 26 minute piece takes a very personal look at Art Seymour and his "physical manifestation of the abstract concepts heat and light."

In August 2006, Art Seymour | Solo Performance received the Best Documentary, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing awards at the Idaho Panhandle International Film Festival.
