Thinking of Place III 

Thinking of Place III is an international printmaking project organized by Laurel McKenzie (AU), Prue MacDougall (NZ), Antonietta Covino-Beehre (AU), and James Pasakos (AU). This project including 86 artists, was exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, Ireland, United Kingdom, and now in Isla Center for the Arts, University of Guam. Show will next travel to Denmark, Germany, and several locations in USA. 

The exhibit invited artists to invoke a legend, myth, story or an aspect of ancestral heritage in relation to their personal identification with geography and environment. To learn more, click the link:鈥� 

Prints created by two UOG alumni, Joleen Unas, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and minor in Fine Arts, 2019; and Daena Perez, Bachelor of Arts, Fine Arts, 2019, are included in the exhibit.  

Unas, a junior computer operator at UOG, submitted her work during the pandemic. 

鈥淚 wanted to spread some hope and dreamed that if people saw my work - good things would come to them, and from one person to another, I wanted this positivity to spread throughout the world,鈥� Unas said. 鈥淣ow, three years later, the piece has returned to Guam, and the world is finally getting back on its feet after the pandemic.鈥�  

With her part-Japanese heritage, Unas said her printed art 鈥淎mabie鈥� was inspired by a Japanese legend that made her hope the pandemic would pass. 

Dr. Keckes invited five artists to be part of her group in the show, Perspectives, including two UOG alumni, Deana Perez and Joleen Unas, along with Keckes, K. Zimna, P. Skowron, and M. Djordjevic.
