Review Quotes:
"Although the artists all share the immigrant experience, few apply themselves to studying their adopted land as thoughtfully as Felipe Galindo of Mexico. His drawings, in ink, watercolor or pastel, are on materials that most people discard as trash. Thus, on a cake box he depicts a delicatessen with beer signs using the plastic insert as a window; a bus transfer is grounds for a vignette of a couple waiting at a bus stop, and so on. For an adult, changing countries is like learning to walk again. Mr. Galindo's scratchy little observations sum up the awkwardness of it all."
