Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill

My mom and I took a trip to Raleigh/Durham last week to check out the area since I might be moving there in the near future.

We went to a bunch of museums on this trip. It was a bunch of fun!

Tetsunori Kawana - Passages: Green Wall

Last week Jenny and I went to the Mint Museum to see bamboo artist Tetsunori Kawana's installation Passages: Green Wall.
Kawana allowed community volunteers to help him create this 20 x 20 x 82 foot passageway constructed of straight and split Madake bamboo.
The artist hopes that visitors will leave the installation with a sense of well-being and connectedness to the natural cycle of life.
