Publication Winners Announced!

Thanks so much to everyone that sent feedback on their favorites for the upcoming publication. I can’t tell you how much everyone’s comments warmed my heart. The support is much appreciated. Plus it was pretty cool to get inside other people’s head to see what they like.

So without any further delay – The winners (chosen randomly out of a hat) of a copy of the publication (to be mailed out in early-mid October) are… drum roll please….

Eden: Ceramics by Sin-ying Ho

September 8 – October 26, 2010 | Reception on Thursday, September 15, 2010, 5 – 8PM with Artist’s Talk from 6 – 7 PM

The development of technology and economic globalization in the 21st century brings people of many nationalities and cultures together. Expressing her own experience as a Chinese artist living in North America, ceramist Sin-ying Ho has painted hundreds of flowers, combined with digital transfer-printed images, on 5- to 6-foot-tall porcelain vessels, creating a garden of cultures that evokes identity and the collision of new global traditions. Born in Hong Kong, Sin-ying Ho is Assistant Professor of ceramics at Queens College. This exhibition is co-sponsored by the Queens College Art Department, PSC-CUNY Research Foundation, Queens Council on the Arts, and Coptor Productions. This exhibition is part of Queens College’s Year of China programming.
