Drop-In Art Activity: Stitching Grief, Folding Memories
Presented in conjunction with Suhn Lee: Memento Mori
Dates: Saturday, May 3rd, 2025
Time: 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Location: Pine Grove across the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery
As part of Suhn Lee: Memento Mori, visitors are invited to participate in Stitching Grief, Folding Memories, a quiet, drop-in art-making space that reflects themes of memory, grief, and transformation. Designed to be meditative and open-ended, this program encourages visitors, at all ages and walks of life, to take part at their own pace—whether for a few minutes or a longer stay.
The artist will be present periodically to provide demonstrations and guidance on two reflective activities:
Embroidered Memories
Use thread, beads, and fabric to create small embroidered pieces within embroidery hoops. Choose from patterned guides or design freely. These small patches of remembrance will become part of a collaborative textile work by the artist.
Origami Notes
Write a note on the back of origami paper to someone you’ve lost—through death, distance, or time. Notes will be collected in a box and later folded by the artist into cranes, with fragments of the writing visible but obscured, preserving both privacy and emotion in form.
This is a self-guided, introspective space open to all. Materials will be provided.
