Jane Milosch presenting the Award of Merit in Ceramics at Craft Forms, Wayne Art Centre, Dec. 6, 2019
I recently returned from Philadelphia where my ‘House of Cards’ was exhibited alongside eighty other fine craft artists’ work at CRAFT FORMS 25th International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Fine Craft at the Wayne Art Centre. The show was juried by Jane Milosch, Founder and Director of the Smithsonian Provenance Research Initiative. I captured The Award of Merit for ceramics.
Exhibition runs from December 7 to February 1, 2020.
Twenty artists were present to deliver brief remarks at the public opening on December 7th.
I had a chance to speak about my work, ‘House of Cards’ as a tribute to my father’s life as an early immigrant to Canada,
and some of the racialized experiences he endured, to build his home in a new country - the fragility and the strength.
‘House of Cards’ Award-winning installation representing my father’s journey and life as a new Canadian from Trinidad in 1953 to his passing, 2016.
