In May 2024, I was an artist in residence at Ceramics School in Hamtramck, MI. truly the most special time <3

Sketchbook

Making side plates and slabs for a dinnerware set

Open Call for Participation:
I am working on - a cookbook for Chinese adoptees (no title yet but I am open to suggestions). This is a "conceptual" cookbook open to but not limited to poetry, recipes, stories, and anything else you'd like to share.

Over the past year, I've been focusing on the zodiac as a point of reference in to Chinese culture in my work; as well as trying to improve my Asian cooking skills and knowledge.  This November, I will be curating a show at Da Vinci Art Alliance in Philly of fellow adoptees Eva Fahey and Katie Mongoven's work that will coincide with the release of this cookbook release and a potluck using the dinnerware set I've been creating.

I plan on risograph printing the cookbook in my studio in Philadelphia - which is a  process that is most similar to screenprinting and xeroxing for anyone who may be unfamiliar.

If you're interested in contributing - please let me know directly via email and I can send along more info ie. the specs and printing details.  Each artist would be allotted 2-4 pages in the final cookbook and I would love to have designs on hand by the end of July so I can focus on printing/producing in August and September. You're welcome to be a part of this too if you're local and interested.

I am unable to offer a stipend for participation but, I plan on printing a limited edition of 50-100 of these cookbooks and am happy to give you all 2-3 copies.  I would love to be able to sell these after completion and to distribute any proceeds to you all directly to share my gratitude for participation in this experimental project that's been on the backburner for 2+ years.
