My projects and activities ranged greatly. I met printmakers, skateboarders, and the indigenous. I made sure to experience Taipei, and the nature of Taiwan. I taught kids to skateboard in Maoli, as well as printmaking. I traveled to Sandimen and stayed with the Paiwan where I learned of their rich crafts and cultural preservation. While there I made several works along side masters that ended up being part of my final installation at BCS Open Studio. The experience was powerful in showing me the mutual connections that can be snd should be made between western people and non-western/indigenous people.
