Donation from Ellen Miret (A112)
The work is a lenticular image-Chapter 14 of the Dhammapada-Teachings of the Buddha. "The One Who is Awake". Ellen made it with 2 photos taken in Tibet and 2 fused glass heads.
"The images come and go in a lenticular form: the viewer must physically interact (move) with the lenticular image to see the whole picture... and be mindful of others, a working metaphor for how we live in the world."

An Afternoon at the Met; a private tour...
Drew Anderson, Conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Sherman Fairchild Center for Objects Conservation has donated his time to conduct a private tour for a party of four (4).
"The tour would consist of behind the scene and galleries in the Objects Conservation Department. We treat sculpture, furniture, ceramics, bronzes and a host of other materials both modern and ancient. Anyone with an interest in art and conservation would, I am sure, be interested."
