From August 8 to 15, 2011, artist Maria Teresa Sansotta and I were invited to exhibit our work in Gangi, Sicily. The show was entitled "Oltre il Tessuto".

Attending the opening, were the mayor, alderman, many journalists as well as people from Italy.

I am glad we remembered to put out a book for comments. Those are always fun to read!
