Following his formal art studies he continued studying art and cul- ture, travelling to Asia and Europe, living as a painted, working in traditional watercolour styles. ig two years residi in a Buddhi 'y in Cali- fornia, he moved to the B.C. Coast, travelling on a small boat, working in black and white drawirigs and wood-cut prints. In 1989 he moved to the West Kootenay, where he has been painting mostly landscape works in a bold style, characterized by vigorous brush strokes and strong colour. Wayne King's philosophy of art reflects his studies in Eastern aestheticism and spirituality. He does not concentrate so much on finished pieces as on the process. He sees the artist as an antenna picking up the divine in the universe and communicating that through his work, the struggle being to personally attain to a state where that communication is clear.

The works have been selected for their originality and quality of design by Mr Lloyd E. Herman, the founding Director of the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery of Craft and Curatorial Consultant of the Cana. dian Craft Museum. From the 127 Pieces entered by 60 artists, Her: man has selected 3 works of craft to receive Awards of Excellence. First place has been awarded to Eric Leyland of Nelson for his “Arctic Moon” box of patinated copper, nickel, silver, brass and carved walrus tooth. Commenting on this piece, Herman said “Ley. land's fine workmanship’ is equal to his concept.” Of his own work, Leyland speaks of the intimacy he and the observer experience, “The Process used, that of sinking and raising, allows me to have more intimate contact with the metal This intimacy is also reflected in the way the observer reacts to the piece, rather than being considered Precious, delicate and untouch able, the vessel or container needs to handled, filled with something or used in some way to lognitnee its existence.” Angelika Werth of Salmo has been awarded second place for her wall quilt “One in Nine or 36B” ‘Her fabrics, however beautiful and elegantly composed in this work, also make political com " said Herman. The title of the piece and the use of recycled brassieres are part of Angelika’s response to a CBC radio report “that one woman in nine, in Cana. da, will develop cancer of the breast, and 5,000 women will die of breast cancer in Canada each year. Yet only one $1 million a year will be spent on breast cancer research.” Third place has been awarded to Garry Graham of Castlegar for the originality of his sculptural vessel, on that Herman said “is still a functional object, related to the long history of pottery, but will never be mistaken for work of a previous era.” Andrew Rhodes photographic series, Paint on the Road, compli- ments the originality of work in Kootenay Craft ‘93, As the title suggests, Rhodes images are liter- ally of “paint on the road”; paint that tells us what to do and whe: to go.
