In 1997, when she was one month pregnant, a Las Vegas casino worker named Hong Chen knitted a red sweater. Twenty-one years later in 2018, her child Hue created another sweater in dialogue with their mother’s experience. Hue, a fashion designer and artist who founded the creative Las Vegas space known as the cloud house, cites their mother and all casino workers as sources of inspiration.
- Created: 1997-2018
