My accordion-style book, Celebrating AAPI Artists, celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, and artists whose art practices and artworks I personally find inspirational. The first page is formatted like an index, or a table of contents section. The pages that follow reflect these artists’ work – pieces which, because they are famous, or because I had found them interesting, I decided to recreate in a double-sided, ‘museum’ booklet. This was one of the first times when I was inspired to actively persuade myself to take up painting.
