It was very satisfying to work together with dear old friends Nick Lowe & Duc Pham to make this exhibition. I’ve known Nick & Duc since the early 2000s when I first began exhibiting my art. We were each active in the early years of the Chinatown LA art scene. This show is a sort of artistic homecoming for me.
