In July 2016, I was invited by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to participate in the 10th Ubon International Wax Symposium 2016. I represented the U.S. as one of seven international artists. The sculpture symposium runs in conjunction with the traditional candle festival in Ubon Rachathani, Thailand. International artists are invited to Ubon and are given tools and skilled assistance to realize their sculptures in large scale using wax.This unique symposium brings artists into a stimulating new work environment with new tools in a new country. Sculptors work in the open, so spectators enjoy this huge learning experience watching in real time the creation of a sculpture in seven diﬀerent ways by each artist.
