Although I was not able to attend opening night for the exhibition, I was still happy to be a participating artist. Two of my works: Inspired by Crokinole & Inspired by Warri hung among works that were created by nine other artists interpreting the theme for the exhibition: ABSTRACT ART & GAMES. Exhibition coordinator Jun Sato was kind to forward candid photos in this post of the Vernissage so I could view all the wonderful works and feel the excitement of the opening evening.
