Don Hutchinson and Ying-Yueh Chuang: Passages February 22 – June 14 Passages celebrates the inventiveness, skill, and whimsy of Ying-Yueh Chuang and the late Don Hutchinson. Each artist draws inspiration from both nature and imagined objects to create unique artworks. Both of their respective practices have been deeply informed by their experiences as teachers, as well as by time spent in Surrey and its vibrant ceramic arts culture.
