What a long strange trip it’s been. From high tea to dim sum to kung fu, it’s an intercontinental journey from a life of privilege to a contretemps in the Tenderloin.
About the Artist
Native of Hong Kong with a checkered past. I moved to the US at age of 15 in 1970, came to SF in 1975. Drove taxi in SF, nights, from 1978 – 1985, then started working as a software engineer in 1986. Now retired. Took a class with David Ford at the Marsh in February of 2019, and this is what came out of it.
