“Ngan's integration of craft and environment is a continuous process. He intends to further explore local materials, using Hornby Island stone in making glazes and British Columbia clay for his stoneware. He also has aspirations to become better recognized as a painter and sculptor. For the present, though, his contemplation of two interwoven heritages and the integration of local materials into his craft, home and studio have brought a certain elemental harmony into his life.”
“This is a cylinder about 23cm tall X 7cm diameter. The transparency and vivid colours that glass allows make rainbows one of the irresistible subjects for glass blowers and you will find similar pieces in the early work of many of us. This particular piece is memorable for me because it is one of the first objects that I made using fairly complicated technique that came out looking even better than I had imagined it. It is now in the collection of my friend Maggie Rey.”
