Angels Gate Cultural Center

Join us TODAY for Family Art Workshop from 1 - 2:30pm ☀️ There are still a few seats left!

In this workshop with Artist-Teacher Anna Erneholm we will make wood sculptures with sticks from nature, fastening them with masking tape and then attaching them to a base for an artful display. We will learn about balance and stability, and explore the possibilities of the material. Participants can also add details with colored construction paper and paint their sculptures with acrylic paint.

Fun for all ages—sign up on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/september-family-art-workshop-wood-stick-sculptures-tickets-1010905404277?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

From : CHẾ, 𝙄𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚, 2024. Mesh fabric, Ink, wood, glass, titanium, round rocks and minerals from Los Angeles, dimensions variable.

The concept of this piece was born from a conversation with a friend in regards to assimilation versus acculturation: Does survival lead to dilution or filtration of culture? As first generation immigrants, there are abstract memories of what “home” is that are constantly influxing with our present environment. In front of the installation lies a circular, bronze table displaying a natural water filtration system made of found rocks and materials held inside a glass vessel. The rocks and minerals are sourced from the artist's home in Los Angeles and symbolize the physical manifestation of her own internal negotiation between her western and southeastern identity. The installation explores a subconscious assimilation by showcasing loose paintings of Vietnamese and American landscapes on mesh fabric that cascade downward, where the idea of cultural negotiation is filtered through intervals of time.
