Tamra Marshall, The Book Pie, 2013.
Description
The Book Pie created by Rooftop School librarian, Tamra Marshall, represents the abundance of sustenance that is found in books.  Books feed our minds and souls like a slice of pie feeds our sweet tooth!  The Book pie was created by making miniature books made of old book pages and paper ephemera. The crust and the lattice top was created by using discarded library check-out cards. The signatures on the old check-out cards bring back a nostalgia of a time when things moved slower and were done by hand, just like a pie made from scratch. 

In 2013, Asian  Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC) presented “75: Flo Oy Wong . . . The Whole Pie,” a celebration of the seventy fifth birthday of artist Flo Oy Wong.  The exhibition, curated by Pamela Wu Kochiyama, Darryl Smith, and Laurie Lazer of the Luggage Store Gallery, opened on November 8th and closed on December 28th, with an opening reception with the artist from 6 – 8 pm on November 8th.

For the exhibition, Flo invited 75 local, regional and national artists to contribute art pies.  All of these works created by Wong and the invited artists share a common thread.  They are narratives which either address the deconstruction of a stereotype or tell the stories of under-represented men and women whose lives and hard work have made a significant yet unknown difference in this country.
