The journey and struggle of seven Cambodian master artists in the state of Maryland have now been documented in a multi-media collection that will soon be available to the public.
The project, funded by a Maryland state grant, was issued through the Cambodian Buddhist Society, based at Wat Buddhikarama in the town of Silver Spring, Md., and enabled multi-media producer Stephane Janin a chance to capture the memories of the masters.
“I went to see the artists; I interviewed them,” said Janin, who spent six months and hundreds of hours on the project. “I went to see them at their work, taking photos of them at their work. I scanned their archives. I came here several times, 15, 20 times, for the last six months.”
