Case Edgerton Studios is proud to present new work for the board by East Side artist, Xee Reiter. A first generation Hmong/American artist, Reiter's work directly reflects their cultural heritage and self-directed exploration into identity through their work as a sought after muralist, illustrator, painter and sculptor. The Hmong Table is an 'illustration of love and food from the garden and photos of actual dishes made by my mom captured by my brother @konglor. The meal I illustrated includes a soup with rendered pork belly, kabocha and pumpkin tips, grilled chicken wings, spicy pepper sauce, ground pork stir-fried with bamboo shoots and bitter melon, boiled greens, an omelette with ginger, green onions, cilantro, peppers and tomatoes, and a whole fried fish with tomato sauce. The components of a Hmong meal includes rice, a protein, soup/broth and a spicy dipping sauce. It is served communal-style and everyone shares the savory dishes from the same bowl. Often times three generations sit together at one table for every meal.'
