this looks like a group exhibit in need of a gallery space! possibly a teacher/class exhibit at AQS or IQS.

Yes indeed we are truly lucky to have Mrs.Goodwin as a teacher, the map Haiku's were a definitely a great way for us to get back in touch with our creative side. We were able to utilize many different techniques in painting, sewing, and many other intricate design principles. Definitely enjoyed this project.

Amazing. Weslee likes them, too. I wondered if any of the symbols are actual words (kanji)? Kris is on vacation, so I can't ask her.

What is striking is their sense of color, on top of their composition. What a treat to see these!
