Lost Chinatowns: Destruction (2016)

In this performance art piece, I build and dismantle sculptural abstractions of each of Santa Cruz’s five Chinatowns, incorporating archival visual materials such as photographs, newspaper clippings, and maps.  Each Chinatown is destroyed in a manner symbolic of its actual historical destruction, such as fire or flood.
