About the book:

In this book you’ll find the big and small stories of diaspora, colonialism, color, pattern and natural materials as well as unvarnished personal accounts of an artist seeking to make connections between art practice, institutions, and daily life. It is a brief personal history, an artist portfolio, and instructional book all in one. Told through comprehensive and lucid recollections, the book encapsulates the capacity for craft practices to transmit cultural narratives and material histories through the process of teaching, learning, and making. It’s also a story about how artists make paths for themselves and learn to navigate and find access to knowledge often gate-kept by institutions, and how personal relationships often lead the way to new creative discoveries.
