Min Chuan Univeristy Design Building
We met many lovely teachers at Min Chuan Univeristy. This photo is the entrance of the design building. This building is beautiful and the inside is similar to a cave with circular walls and small cicular holes that act like windows where you can peer into the next room.
Bridget
Anne langdon took this photograph of Bridget in front of the butterfly images shown from a work that was projected onto the wall.
Jan Ross with her painting
Jan Ross explained how her work is about how life changes, it is always in transience. The butterflies have a short life span and they are delicate creatures who when touched are damaged. The background wattle also continually falls off, then re-grows again in a cycle. The Australian sky in the silhouette has clouds which change as also people can change.
