My mind was in Kurdistan

I was approached by one of my friends from RMIT Rushdi Anwar earlier this year to participate in a group show when he visited Kurdistan during the spring. For the the past month my sculpture my mind was on display at Sadram Gallery in Kurdistan. Pretty awesome. Here's some pictures and details.
