The installation (performance) of New Family Album is complete. The project was a complete success. If it wasn’t for the scores of visitors and participants I wouldn’t have been able to pull it off. I cannot express how grateful I am to all who supported the project and to the Headlands Center for the Arts.
If you missed seeing the project, a select number of portraits will be on display as part of the “Family Pictures” exhibition at Root Division.

My fellowship at the Headlands Center for the Arts will culminate with a two-week residency in the Project Space. The public is invited to visit the studio throughout this period and participate in my installation: New Family Album.
New Family Album is an interactive art installation that explores the family photo album, as well as the power of our own desires and dreams about familial history. Visitors will have the opportunity to sit for a portrait, share their dreams about family and become adopted into a fictitious family tree. The family will expand throughout the installation and visitors are encouraged to return often.
Join the family: June 1-14
Open: Tuesday-Friday & Sunday, 12-5PM
Artist talk: June 18, 7:30PM
