Artist
Ontario Wanderer and Églantine wandered to Toronto last week to visit a special friend of Églantine. She has known Kai Chan for several years and has had him come to Brantford schools to give art instructions to pupils on several occasions. Kai invited us into his home, fed us lunch, and allowed us to look at the many art pieces in his home and to look and photograph works, finished and unfinished, in his studio. Both Ontario Wanderer and Églantine have started artwork since retirement and were again inspired by Kai's work. Below are some examples of what hang on Kai's walls. Note the exclusive use of "found" and "recycled" materials and the fine, detailed handiwork of these sculptural pieces.

His work is so interesting - so suggestive of nature, but somehow letting the viewer's imagination find its own forms in each piece. Very nice indeed.
Very nice, Dean. Thanks for the link.Evocative art of its origin.
