Mongolia | Zaisan Tolgoi | Galleria | Artist Anunaran

I have been somewhat remiss in noting changes to the Galleria of my Hovel In Zaisan Tolgoi. Here are two works by Ulaanbaatar Artist Anunaran. She and her partner Dorje Derem, who is also an well-known UB artiste,  installed them.

 Making final adjustments

At the bottom of each hanging string is an image of a fox fashioned from felt. This is based on the Mongolian belief that if you hang an image of a fox over a baby’s crib the baby will not have bad dreams.

Anunaran is also a well-known professional model. Here she is in Model Mode (not my photo). See her Facebook Page.

Anunaran also helps organize a dance troop which performs at various places of interest, including Aryaval Temple.
