In celebration of the Lunar New Year, STEPS collaborated with lead artist PUFF Paddy, and two emerging artistic facilitators from OCAD University to facilitate and develop a community engaged public art installation for the Chinatown BIA (Business Improvement Association). Through four intergenerational community art workshops to engage, over 100 lanterns were created.

Yue Moon was designed to unite the Chinatown community together while exploring a contemporary approach to the traditional art of lantern making. Over three weeks STEPS engaged over 100 participants ranging in age from 2 to 80+ in four community workshops. Each lantern created during the workshops collectively formed the final public art installation unveiled as part of the Chinatown BIA Lunar New Year celebrations at Dragon City Mall. The results of this project created a space for community members and artists to connect, contribute, and express themselves in their community through a unique public artwork and collaborative experience.

The content was developed by following researcher and elementary school teachers : Eun-young Lee, Yu-shin Park, Jeong-yu Park, Sung-hwan Lim, Hoe-jin Chung, Do-haeng Chung, Eun-ji Ko. The purpose of this application development is to focus on elementary school students seeing and exploring art works in a contemporary(time and space and sense)space. Students experience a virtual reality space with their V.R device or smart device. In this space, students develop the ability to appreciate factors surrounding the work in three dimensions, contextually and comprehensively, such as the artist's emotions, stories, and connections between works.

I was commissioned by Multistory, to respond creatively to 'Stories in Isolation'. I'm a full-time art teacher and in lockdown found myself drawn to performing in my house rather than the classroom! ‘Tipton Meshes’, is a performative reflection that captures traces of isolation in the domestic space. Collaborating with artist and filmmaker, Joseph Potts, the experimental film portrays the contradictory feelings in isolation. The photomontages accompanied by text echo the three-minute films psychological journey of loneliness, emotional freedom and the desire for human connection.
