The selection was made with the assistance of an advisory panel chaired by Joan Tooke, Koffler Centre of the Arts. They included:

• Paul Epp, Studio Furniture
• Stephen Hogbin, curator of the exhibition
• Don McKinley, Studio Products
• Heide Overhill, Industrial Design
• Allen Smutylo, Printmaking
• Blanche van Ginkel, Architecture
• Colette Whiten, Sculpture

Selection criterion included technical accomplishment, formal invention, conceptual content and social intention.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The following people were also instrumental in bringing the exhibition to fruition and their involvement was greatly appreciated:

• Stephen Braithwaite
• Canadian Artists Representation
• Norman Creighton, Monash University
• Damon Dowbak
• Luigi Ferrara and Liz Crawford, Design Exchange
• Don Griffith, Canadian Wood Council
• John Harrison
• Tom Hill, Woodland Cultural Centre
• Brian Meehan, Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery
• Andrew Poynter, A&M Wood Specialty

Thanks to all the artists who responded to my request for material and their patience in what has been an endlessly slow process. Due to space limitations of the exhibition a number of important works were excluded and will one day be added to the web site.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CREDITS

I particularly want to thank Charles Van Den Ouden for photographing most of the works at the conclusion of the exhibition in 1998. Financial assistance for these images was given by the Canadian Wood Council. There are two installation photographs courtesy of the Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery. Other images are courtesy of the artist.
