Recipient of the 2004 Roy Crane Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in the Visual Arts

Young-Min Kang

Young-Min Kang, who graduated in May 2004 with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art, was awarded the 2004 Roy Crane Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in the Visual Arts. Young-Min's works start out as large photographic images which are then digitalized and sliced into long ribbons or tubes, and then painstakingly reconstructed into complex and compelling three-dimensional structures. The awards committee was impressed by the ambitious nature of these visually and intellectually stunning pieces.
