Hence, through the exhibition, the specific intimate connection that exists between interpretations and crossovers of culture is exposed.

Exhibition - Students work - United Arab Emirates
Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
May, 2014
An exhibition of my student's work over a period of 6 years in the United Arab Emirates. As my farewell event they held an exhibition at the local sailing Club and I was thrilled with the volume and quality of work they'd achieved. It's exciting for me to know that these wonderful ladies have become as excited about Hanji as I have and many of them will continue doing it back in their own countries.
