Artist Jaklin Romine has used her time in LACE’s Unresidency program to reflect and celebrate her relationship with her grandmother, her Abuela. While her grandmother was alive, they would share long lunches and lengthy talks about her life, her misadventures, and her heart’s ups and downs. During this time of togetherness, Romine’s grandmother would tell her that she believed her life’s story was destined to be a book. Her retelling left a lasting impression on Romine’s soul. For her LACE Unresidency, Romine created a zine that honors their time together. Titled 'Roses and Butterflies Floating Towards Her Power and Love / Rosas y mariposas que flotan hacia su poder y amor,' the zine takes a closer examination of Romine’s grandmother’s artistry as a seamstress and her personal style, combined with the flowers that the artist gave her grandmother while she was still alive. The zine reflects on these memories through photography and words, and is fused with Romine’s own artistry through the layering of transparency film, glitter cardstock, Riso printing, hand cut outs, and combinations of photography, craft, and design. Join artist Jaklin Romine for a reading of poetry and texts about her grandmother, featured on her zine 'Roses and Butterflies Floating Towards Her Power and Love / Rosas y mariposas que flotan hacia su poder y amor.'
