The works of three local artists have been selected to travel across the ocean and appear in a prestigious craft exhibition in Cheongju, South Korea.
The Unity and Diversity exhibition is a part of Cheongju International Craft Biennale (CICB), the largest craft fair in the world.
Canada is the exhibition's 2009 guest country and is sending 200 pieces that have been selected through a two-stage jury process.
Claude Morin, a Moose Jaw native, was one of the 11 artists chosen from Saskatchewan to have work displayed at the exhibition.
His multimedia piece, Prairie Interconnectivity, is a combination of clay, steel, leather, wood and paper.
"In the piece, I would say there is a fair representation of all the elements of the prairies and its connection to the people."
The other local artists featured in the Unity and Diversity exhibition are Nicola D'Agnone from Rouleau and Anna Hergert from Moose Jaw.
D'Agnone's piece is Rocks on the Beech. Hergert's piece, Glisten - Sunrise Over Buffalo Pound Lake, used a variety of materials including: plastic film, polyester, oil and acrylics and metallic threads.
