Interview with Ian:

AOMA: How did you come out the idea of your winning work? Any interesting sparkling moment or story to share?

IAN: I came up with the idea for my piece when I saw the beauty of the rabbit and how it shows the beauty of the wild. Using the Zen Tangle I added multiple designs to the rabbit to make it more interesting.

AOMA: What is your process? What is your ideal environment?

IAN: What I like about AOMA is how fun the environment is and how everyone is able to talk and have fun but still does lots of work.

AOMA: What did you learn from this contest?

IAN: What I learned from this contest and through my studies at AOMA preparing is that sometimes not everything goes well with a piece but you just have to deal with it and build off it.
