Fast-forward to September 2008














The "Form Follows Function: A Design of an Assyrian Identity" series is doing great and creating fantastic feedback. In 2008, posters and other works were selected at juried shows. An abstract was accepted for presentation and publication, but will be postponed due to moving to Savannah, GA for a teaching position at SCAD. Next month, the faculty exhibition at SCAD will have another blog posting. Stay in touch ;)
