Nominators Comment William Laing is Professor for prints in the Fine Arts Program at Calgary University in Canada. His recent works not only reflect Canadian nature, but also traditional lace designs and elements of European landscapes. His fascinating works are rich with poetic sentiment, making time and space fluctuate between the planes of coloured glossy ink and semi-translucent surfaces.
