"A boat and related equipment are joined together in a welded metal frame. Everything is painted in a unifying plastic layer to resemble the surface of a model kit. The real boat is transformed into a model of itself, and its original purpose has given way to something else. TOYS’R’US was made for the exhibition Besökarna (the Visitors) in a new part of Malmö, the Western Harbour, built for the housing fair Bo01 in 2001. The area was developed as a demonstration project to provide a model for future cities. Today, six years later, it still feels like a model. The artificial atmosphere still awaits to break loose from its surrounding plastic sticks." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

"” Huang Yong Pingg - French artist of Chinese origin is exhibiting as part of arsenale at Venice Art Biennale 09. Ping’s work has its roots in confrontation, contrast, exchange, and the coexistence of different cultural and spiritual worlds. His oversize recreations of the hand of buddha is made from a type of cedar tree traditionally used in Chinese medicine, that dwell in the ambiguity of references to both spiritual and earthly realms. ” (via Designboom)" - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

"” I’ve lived and worked in many different environments and cultures that have influenced the way I perceive the world, and therefore my pieces. These experiences have ranged from teaching in urban high schools and producing websites in the high-tech corporate environment, to volunteering at a meditation retreat center in rural India a few hours outside of the fever pitch of Bombay. I’ve also collected visual imagery and ideas from my travels through Renaissance Italy, Classical and Minoan Greece, Nepal and Thailand. Upon returning to the United States in 2004, after a year and a half working overseas, I began to study ceramics full-time at the ArtCenter in Carrboro, North Carolina and later at Portland Community College’s Cascade campus and the Oregon College of Art and Craft’s community education program. I am currently a member of the Oregon Potters Association. I have also studied flame-worked glass at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, and participated in an artist residency at the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Maine. ” - Kate MacDowell" - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet
