A message from Foundry in the Chelsea 3D workshops

I received an email from Craft Ontario recently notifying me that I was awarded with Craft Ontario Volunteer Committee Award from Craft Ontario Council. And I will be part of Craft Ontario commemorating their 40th anniversary Exhibition.
While I cannot personally attend the show because I am currently residing in London preparing for the degree show, but my very first bronze piece created in London, “I will follow him (2016)” will be exhibited at the show.

 Here at Foundry of Chelsea College of Art, the technician John and fellow Nicole who has provided guidance for me has congratulated me after hearing the news about the award. I also took photos with them after patination and finishing process prior to shipping to Canada. I want to give my thanks to my loving family and friends, colleagues, and Craft Ontario who has given me this precious award and an opportunity for exhibition.
 

Parallax Art Fair July 2016

Briefly after I arrived in London, I received a mail from Tom Moore who is a manager at Parallax Art Fair London. He had seen my work through Craft Ontario’s homepage and Instagram, and that he is interested in my work and made an offer for me to participate at the PAF 2016 in July. I thought that it would be a good opportunity for my work to be introduced, get new feedbacks, and meet various artists from Europe. Most of all, it would be a new experience at an unfamiliar place where there will be new inspirations, and I decided to participate and started preparing for the fair.

I want to give my special thanks to Craft Ontario. I was encouraged through various awards, and nourished to mature into an artist outside of school. Also, my work was exposed and received publicity through Craft Ontario’s media channels, and thank you for opening doors for other potentials.
