Seven Deadly Sins

Senior Art and Design Exhibition
Abstract/Artist Statement
With limited knowledge of archival repositories, the public often views archives and special collections as dim, dusty, isolated spaces for the rarified academic. To improve the public awareness of archives, I seek ways to utilize Graphic Design to stimulate visual interest in the wealth of knowledge the repositories hold. In A Fabric of Main Threads: Asian Americans in Stockton, I combine photographs from local archives (Holt-Atherton Department of Special Collections and the Haggin Museum) with contemporary photographs, to tell stories about San Joaquin County’s Asian American community and the archives that will keep cultural memories alive.
