More and more goodness!



So, China was a wonderful experience and I will post more pictures soon, but I flew from China to the opening of my first museum exhibition at the Loyola Unversity Museum of Art. There is a great exhibition of creches from around the world in the main area of the museum, which is well worth seeing! I had no idea they could be so interesting as art objects. Also, as a treat, the "Off The Streets Club Children's Choir" sang Christmas carols and other songs.




My show got reviewed, which was totally unexpected and so kind. You can read it here:

Anyhow, if I don't post again, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Beautiful Kwanza or enjoyable three day weekend!

Peace,
Sarah

China



I will start with China, which was an incredible experience. I don't think I had any idea what it would be like, so it was a bit like Alice going down the rabbit hole. I was up for the adventure, but also a little daunted by what I'd read beforehand about the difficulties of getting around, but it turned out to be a lot easier than I imagined.

I arrived in Shanghai (and yes, 13 hours is a long time on a plane) on Thanksgiving night and thanks to the kindness of friends of friends, I was picked up by a driver and taken to a Thanksgiving meal with about 8 mostly American ex-pats. Dinner was delicious and conversation about life in Shanghai very interesting.

Woke the next morning and took some shots of the sun rising over the sky scrapers.
