“The book features drawings, notes and short stories collected by the artist during Elementary (2018-19), a year-long lived performance in which the artist attended a kindergarten of the Los Angeles Unified School District as an adult student. Since 2018, Elementary has evolved into an extensive body of work, giving rise to different projects such as performances and installations that reflect on the artist's school experience and explore themes of relationships and emotions, hierarchies and enculturation within the educational setting…The (new book) work engages all ages with short fill-in-the-blank stories that offer insights into her daily life at kindergarten: the interactions with classmates and the teachers, the need for belonging, the experiences of failure, acceptance, frustration and joy.”
