Today’s photo features Jan-Ru Wan, as she was installing her art for the Green Hill Gallery at the Cultural Arts Center on Davie Street. The mixed-media art of Jan-Ru Wan is part of an exhibit, Slow Art, that encourages the viewer to slow down, view and reflect on the exhibit in a meditative mode. Wu has taught at East Carolina University and North Carolina State University.

Wan, born in Taiwan,* understands that culture plays a role in how we perceive things; but, it is the commonalities among people that drive her research and art work. The installation above features string and skateboards in a circular form. It almost looks as if Jan-Ru Wan is pausing to meditate as she works on the installation. The multi-artist exhibit will be on view until April 15th. Try to get to Green Hill to enjoy this art.
