The installation titled “In Deep Water – We’re in This Together” opens Dec. 2, 2023 at Live Forever Foundation Gallery, Taichung, Taiwan. https://www.live-forever.com.tw/foundation-news-content.php?page=1&index_id=75 The installation of handmade paper and printmaking by Santa Rosa, California, artists Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, consists of 36 panels presented as a site-specific installation in the magnificent gallery space at Live Forever Foundation Gallery and aims to initiate some international dialogue about our global climate crisis and its effects on the water situation in countries around the world. Taiwan and California have different problems with water, too little most of the time in California and too much sometimes in Taiwan. Everywhere we are experiencing rising waters and temperatures, increased I’ve severity of storms and other effects of climate change. The installation is part of the exhibition “Water Says” curated by Taiwanese curator Iris Hung. Jane and Jami and their husbands are in Taiwan for 10 days to do the site-specific installation and attend the opening reception, present public programs and a hands-on workshop in papermaking and printmaking related to the environment and water. Thanks to the Live Forever Foundation for their support and enthusiasm for environmental art and how it can contribute to raising public awareness around the world about our current global environmental crisis. Here are a few photos of our “In Deep Water” installation in Taiwan. The Foundation also engaged a Taiwanese modern dancer to create a performance with our installation!
More photos will be posted on this Blog and other sites soon. All photos are by Jane’s husband Timothy S. Allen.

Dear Chin Chih, So sorry you had to miss the opening yesterday. It was wonderful and this Foundation is a wonderful place. Today Jami and I are teaching a workshop at the Live Forever Foundation in Taichung, and it is in the same space as our installation. So if you can come today you could see the exhibition with the workshop in the space on one end. It would be so nice to see you. Come sometime in the afternoon and I can take a few minutes then to talk with you while Jami is doing the printmaking part of our workshop…although we both will help with all the parts of this workshop to show our collaboration. I will also send this message to you by the Facebook so hope you get it in time to come to Taichung later today! That will be so wonderful to see you again, Jane P.S. Call Tim’s cell phone number in Taiwan as he can answer and always find me to give a message. Hsi number is 0905602458. See you soon I hope! Jane Ingram Allen https://janeingramallen.wordpress.com
