An abstract self portrait
Inspired by the song ‘Mad world’
My translation of Leslie Gustafson I find it hard to take for the Sojie 14 exhibition.
I would like to say a big thank you to Leslie for allowing me to translate her beautiful work.

Very beautiful work, Sam. The emotions and turmoil of decision is apparent; she seems to blame herself.
Thank you Frannie, and thank you for another enjoyable SoJie workshop.
