    Here to see the CBC report on Joy and loathing: Cataloguing 20 years of public art in Saskatoonversion of Placemaker Artwork Catalogue.

    Artist Statement about the Catalogue
    During my journey of 66 Physiognomies, I have been touched by the beauty and uniqueness from the people, history, culture, art and landscape in Saskatoon. It has been a joy and opportunity to explore public art practice and to meet new people. The experience has benefited my well-being and artistic development and has allowed me to offer something back to the community. I certainly hope the readers enjoy both the vitality and diversity of the Placemaker Program, as I have. In my roles as an artist and a spiritual practitioner, I truly believe that public art is essential for well-being, as it provides an open channel or creative expression and interdependence.

    Medium: hand drawing and painting on aluminium traffic signal cabinet
    Please click Here to see the project completion report published by City of Saskatoon

    Project statement:
    The inspiration of this art piece comes from my experience of living and working within 20 th St Westcommunity. The artistic expression, the culture emerging, the business development, and the humanity enlightenment have been deeply nourishing my heart and mind through everyday life realm. The landscape, people, culture, life quality and many other aspects of this area are transforming day by day. I am very happy that I am able to be part of these transformation, and to give something back to the community through 20th St West Traffic Signal Cabinets Project. The whole imagery of my creation is to focus on evoking and strengthening the energy which is essential for the transmutation. The concept deriving from this intention is formed from a traditional Chinese fable called yú lóng biàn huà. “yú” means fish, “long” means dragon, “biàn huà” means transformation.
