  Dinner Table II

  Dinner Table II, 2' x 9', 2005

  Dinner Table II was inspired by Judy Chicago's Dinner Party installation. Dinner Table II is a table set for my late parents and their offspring of 7 children. The table cloth is composed of 5 embellished cloth rice sacks. The beaded runner is text that narrates my mother's lament when my father was near fatally-shot in a business dispute 71 years ago. The black chopsticks standing in the rice bowls are symbols to indicate the passing of those family members.

  District Six: A Memory

  "District Six: A Memory," approximately 11' x 16', 2008

  I created "District Six: A Memory" soon after I returned from a 1997 art research trip to South Africa. I reprised this installation for my 70th birthday solo show at the South of Market Cultural Center in San Francisco. "District Six" addressed the deconstruction of a multicultural neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa, during apartheid. The white government decided to tear down the diverse neighborhood to make a place for "whites only."

  Gold Mountain is a series of installation commissioned by the Sacramento, California Philharmonic. Each of the installations tell the story of a Sacramento/Delta region Chinese American who contributed to the building of the state of California. Gold Mountain was a part of my Whispers of the Past solo exhibition shown at the defunct 40 Acres Art Gallery, an African American space in Sacramento.
