Week One at the MAH
This week marked Week One of my six weeks as Resident Artist at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. The idea of the residency is for museum visitors to see the artist's process and to participate in that process. My co-residents this week are Abigail Han and Kevin Delaney. I haven't seen Abigail in action yet but Kevin has been wildly crafting poems, editing the works of others, and having pleasant poetic conversations. Other artists will be rotating through, including Grant Wilson who is awesome!!!!!
Above is an embroidered map of North America included on the larger world map which is about 5 feet X 13 feet in dimension. I'm inviting museum goers to to share their personal stories of movement and migration, historical migrant routes and contemporary migrant routes. All of info is then embroidered on the map. Visitors are invited to embroider onto the map directly, though only one person has taken me up on my offer (Thank you Brandon!).

Tell Your Story box is here for people to drop their migrant/movement stories when I'm not in the studio.
