As I was discovering aspects of the city, I came known the MET. One of which, as an art student was the suggested donation to entering the museum. This became a haven for me as an artist once I discovered. At the time I was handed out a spacial textures project in my graphic design class at Mason Gross. We were asked to describe a place through texture only. I quickly had reflected on my experience in the Chinese garden at the MET in July 2001 for the project. I then rolled my trip into Manhattan together with design photo research work.
