Sweet and Sour Memories by Edmonton's Edith Chu looks back on her life growing up in her family's restaurant Szechuan Cuisine. Her memories of this time form the foundation of her experience as a first-generation Canadian.

Delicate watercolour paintings of restaurant life capture the day-to-day. Family photos are drawn onto replica guest cheques. Edith's memories are captured in sculptural takeout boxes and narrative photographs. Sweet and Sour Memories is the story of her family and families like hers.

"The artwork is about causing viewers to slow down and pay attention to the voices of many Chinese immigrants. Understanding where they came from, the obstacles they faced, their sacrifices and their contributions to society, to foster understanding and appreciation," Edith says.
