Artist Statement

These meditations of birds of Los Angeles are made entirely of postage stamps, a material that enables us to cross borders and connect with each other. I am often mesmerized by their colors and stature.

I celebrate the freedom of their habitation in our vast and diverse metropolis.

A Word from the Editor

Justice work is inextricable from our journal and our parent institution. In my time at Lunch Ticket—two years and four issues—I’ve been surrounded and supported by the student volunteers who make this journal run, who make our community a safe, powerful, and sacred space. From this space I’ve written to you to describe our collective mourning—how each successive issue finds us confronting new instances of “white supremacy and terrorism in our streets, in our churches, in our institutions of higher learning.” I must now add Charlottesville, Las Vegas, and Sutherland Springs to our litany, our dirge. …
