Material Art & Design student, Hoi Yi Lai, has won the 2018 Saul Bell Design Award for Emerging Artists 22 Years or Younger.
" Courage' is one of the pieces in my current collection which reinterprets words that have a meaning to me to create a piece based on the word." This is the direction of Emerging Jewelry Artist Hoi Yi Lai, who finds inspiration in religion and philosophy and how they can influence her designs and jewelry. Hoi Yi also feels it is essential to explore the relationship between jewelry and the wearer especially as the designer. And, yes, she is an "emerging" artist!
