Today, as I was machine sewing words onto fabric for my new installation at King Street, I realized that this will probably be the last work that I make and show while living in Seattle, which is poetic, because the piece in this picture used the same technique and was the first piece that I showed at a gallery in Seattle close to two years ago (at @thealicegallery Everyone's In show). It was the piece that started my friendship with one of my favorite people in Seattle (the one and only @trashbucket_ ), and now the same technique will usher me into a time that will hopefully be full of new friendships and discoveries. I haven't used the technique in between that time. I don't believe in fate, but sometimes the universe is ✨.
hard and soft new things (working on an installation that will go up at King Street Station at the end of July as a part of a very exciting show put on by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, who I love and will super miss working with, cause they are super supportive folks who always let me do what I want, trust the process, and make sure I get paid that good money).
Happy to announce that a new show is up at Deep Space Gallery asking folks (that means you!) to anonymously tell us about their immigration experiences. This show, Untold Passage: Revealing, is happening in partnership with @jacob.lawrence.gallery at the University of Washington, where a physical show titled Untold Passage includes really amazing work by artists like poet Ocean Vuong, and visual artists Mary Ann Peters and Rodrigo Valenzuela. Some of the stories submitted to the site will be published in a catalog produced by Jacob Lawrence Gallery. I would love to get hundreds of stories and have a nuanced and diverse collection on the site that we can read through and cry over and smile about and feel in community with. Unrealistic? Maybe. But a person can dream. To submit your own experience, please go to www.deepspace.place -- link is the bio!
