Corona Mestiza in Lantern Review

I'm pleased to share that my visual poem "Corona Mestiza" has recently been published in the Summer 2011 issue of the Lantern Review, a national journal of Asian American poetry.

This piece is a portrait of my father, told through the visual language and typography of the CT scan.

Opening Reception: Critical Condition

The opening of Critical Condition: When Silence Speaks was a great success! Thanks to Steve Olsen, my installation specialist, for all his hard work. Check out the highlights of the evening as well we the work.

The exhibition will be up through September 16, 2011. Please contact the Parachute Factory at 203-764-7594 for directions and gallery hours. They did tell me they can make weekend appointments.
