School Sculptor Gets Grant
Mr. John Boehme, Brentwood’s distinguished sculpture teacher and a member of the Visual Arts Faculty at Camosun College, has recently been awarded a highly competitive Research and Creation Project Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts.
This funding will assist in Mr. Boehme’s development of a body of new trans-disciplinary artworks which will involve the creation of sports equipment initially from ceramic materials, then additionally from other media. Finally, these new works will be utilized in a performance art context, and as gallery installation.
Mr. Boehme’s practice has, in the past, explored sport as a metaphor for construction, projection, and destruction of identity, utilizing sport as an armature for cultural and national identity.
Sculpt on, Mr. Boehme!
