Some artists found themselves delving into project after project, while others found themselves wandering in unknown territory. We asked artists to mine through changes to their studio practices, to dig back into past ideas lost along the way, to excavate the old into something new and to reveal the findings they have made. The exhibition presents a rare glimpse into the creative process and the outcomes achieved through meditating on those practices.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Lato",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Lato",sans-serif'>The Vancouver Metal Arts Association (VMAA) is an artist-run organization that promotes workshops, social events, artist lectures, and exhibitions for the art jewellery and metalsmith communities in Vancouver, BC.
