"GLASS ARTIST WINS BRONFMAN AWARD
The Canadian Crafts Federation congratulates Ontario based glass artist Kevin Lockau for his appointment as the 2009 Governor General's Saidye Bronfman Award for Excellence in Fine Craft. The $25,000 award is the highest honour for Canadian craft artists in the country.
Kevin's work is described by the Canada Council as "Half animal, half human, half nature, his glass sculptures carry the weight of a life of collaboration and experimentation. Stuffed with straw, bread, tar, fur, made of a unique glass, and chiselled with stone carver's tools, his work reflects our relationship to nature."
