Reception for June Sekiguchi March Artist-in-Residence, 2012
June explores pattern in a cultural context. She is interested in the transition where universal patterns evolve into an ethnic identity and how that further synthesizes into a significant personal aesthetic. June combines her global interest and her upbringing as an Asian in of Arkansas in the 60s and 70s. She uses her place of her birth a catalyst which propels her to look beyond the vernacular to global aesthetic traditions as a foundation of her work.
