Between the two projects Jane is curating in Taiwan, she will go to Bali for an artist in residency at the Bali Purnati Center for the Arts near Ubud on the island of Bali in Indonesia. Jane did her papermaking art with plants from Bali during a residency there in 2009, and she will return to Bali Purnati from May 3 to May 11, 2016, to do some sketching and planning for new works.
Jane will go back to the USA on June 7, 2016 after the project in Keelung. Keep checking this Blog for updates on the two projects in Taiwan and Jane’s own work in Bali.
