Ongoing Series

Cantonese Cowgirs

Meet the residents of Taco, TX, home of the Cantonese Cowgirls. Since creating the first cowgirl, it’s become an ongoing series and a fun way for me to explore themes of sense of belonging, identity, and culture as an Asian American immigrant. By combining decorative motifs from Western glam fashion and Cantonese opera costumes, a fusion aesthetic emerges as its own unique and independent entity.

Long ago, someone told me there was a town named Taco in Texas. When I decided to look it up on Google Maps one day and didn’t find such a place, I decided that the cowgirls all live in this fictional town called Taco, TX. You can read more about the ideas and sentiment behind this series here and here.
