His work reimagines wood as woven and beaded basketry inspired by Native American storytelling, legend, and mythology. Keoni takes simple, functional shapes and transforms them into touchable illusions that blur the craft/fine art distinction. Keoni uses fire, ink, and sharpened steel to create his pieces.

Rocket Ship N.3 is a fully functioning sterling silver teapot. A small astronaut is tethered to the porthole. One must pick up the astronaut from the right side and then move it to the left side and dock it on the other platform. During this process, the porthole will hinge open revealing the spout. Both platforms for the astronaut have NASA logos etched into the silver. The handles and finial are made of 3D printed plastic. The drain holes that allow water to enter the spout from the body of the teapot are drilled as the atomic icon. The teapot was made from using an array of traditional silversmithing techniques including raising, planishing, soldering, and riveting. 9.5″h, 8″w, 4″d
