A small naturalistic painting on canvas depicts a group of Asian adults gathered around a table, eating and drinking. On three sides, the canvas is surrounded by packets for shrimp crackers and banana chips. Illustrations of shrimp and truncated words (“… nan … hips …”) butt against its edges. On the fourth side, we see an illustration of vintage machinery edged with green and yellow cloth. Lines have been machine-stitched across the yellow cloth to make it resemble banana chips.

About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
