La Galerie du Bois- The End of the Earth: Mail Art Exhibition

yaeahhh!!! Pictures finally.
thank you Rainbow Ross for the images.
Brittany occupies a large peninsula in the north west of France, lying between the English Channel in the north and the Bay of Biscay to the south is also called finis terrae, this is only geographically.
' Finis terrae- the end of the earth' is a art show curated by Rainbow Ross, it includes the work of students alumni and faculty of pasca. I feel so happy to be a part of this show. After spending a fantastic semester there I always feel there is a bit of Brittany that I carry around with me. More pictures of individual art work here. these images here are from the show at the le Galerie du Bois in Pont Aven.

   The More Loving One
    Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
   That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
   But on earth indifference is the least
   We have to dread from man or beast.

   How should we like it were stars to burn
   With a passion for us we could not return?
   If equal affection cannot be,
   Let the more loving one be me.

   Admirer as I think I am
   Of stars that do not give a damn,
   I cannot, now I see them, say
   I missed one terribly all day.

   Were all stars to disappear or die,
   I should learn to look at an empty sky
   And feel its total dark sublime,
   Though this might take me a little time.
