2012 Symposium
First of all I have a desire to participate in Sculpture Saint John symposium, because I have not been in Canada yet and I want to get more acquainted with its culture. I have participated into many different international sculpture symposiums. Symposium for me is a live creative process, where you get different cultural acquaintance.
I find interesting the system, when the sculptor comes in the symposium place and gets acquainted with the community and its history. An artwork, which based on those impressions usually turns out be more interesting. I had a very good result with it at Schoodic symposium in Maine. These format symposiums give me more possibilities to improvise while working on my sculpture.
