In both his sculptures and paintings, New Mexico-based artist, Doug Coffin (Potowatomi and Creek) has developed a style that suggests a fusion of the ancient totemic form used by many Native cultures with the abstraction and geometric forms of the modernist. The Ulrich installed the 87th and 88th additions to the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection in April 2024: two Spirit Totems created by Coffin, entitled Sun and Moon, at the Duerksen Amphitheatre.
