Through my Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs artist residencies at the Panorama City and West Valley Regional Branch Libraries, participants have created handmade books to hold treasured memories, including recipes, photos and more.
Especially during these time, to create a repository such as this, can become a vision for the future, as well as a shrine to the past, and preservation of cultural, family and community memories, rituals, experiences and guides.
I am honored to do this work!
