Berkeley Art Center Exhibition Reception, Dec. 12, 09

The theme of this year's exhibition at Berkeley Art Center is RED so of course red was everywhere - whether it was a little of it or a lot of it. I entered one of my origami works, Squares On Squares with, obviously, four red lady bugs in the four center squares.



Lots of pretty interesting, beautiful and creative artwork, but there were plenty of mediocre ones too.





I spotted one of my UC Berkeley teachers' work. I looked for him, but he had already left (the Center's director said). She also told me that Mr. Karl Kasten is in his nineties now. Wow! and he still actively creates art. He gave me one of his prints and kept one of mine at the end of my last year at Berkeley, I wonder if he still has it or remembers me?





This is my beautiful tangerine that I picked from a big fruit bowl on the snack table there.











Anh-Vu asked Juan to pose in front of a painting.







Bao said this sculpture reminds him of something that looks familiar and funny.















This lady is one of North Branch patrons who tracked me down to BAC so she could buy a pair of book-earrings from me to give to her daughter, who also works at the library. They were happy they got what they wanted and I was pleased to know that some people do appreciate my origami works.

I will also post a video of the reception on You Tube, nganamasia, please check it out.
