Visit My World to see more of our world or to participate yourself.

Last week we were invited to a reception and dinner
to celebrate the opening of

We started with the exhibition viewing and cocktails.

Sometimes it pays to do research for art exhibitions!

Colors, Patterns, Shapes

Color! For some reason, lately, I've been looking for color. Now, my house is not drab. I have an orange kitchen -- dreamsicle orange a neighbor calls it. I was putting my art books away and picked up one of my favorite books on Korea. I gave a tour last month and am just getting around to putting books away from refreshing my memory (needs a lot of refreshing). Doing any tour in the Arts of Korea Gallery reminds me of the night the gallery officially opened.

Opening Night
Just look at the color.

So, before I put the book (above) away -
I want to share some photos from Korean Patterns with you.

This is a coffee table book.
Korean Patterns is a look at traditional patterns and their use
in clothing, food and shelter.
All the photographs were taken by Jae-sik Suh.
Enjoy!
Color, Pattern and Shape!
