In Awe of All People
The Mexican-Swedish-American artist John August Swanson died in September in Los Angeles, his hometown, the city he loved. I have a special connection with him and his work. Swanson’s 2007 serigraph The Procession hangs above my ofrenda, a traditional Mexican home altar used for prayer. The serigraph was a gift from my mother-in-law, who purchased it after a visit to Los Angeles in 2019. At the time, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was hosting an exhibit of Swanson’s painting, and I was collaborating with him on a series of talks about the transformative power of art in faith and social justice. It was just months before the pandemic forced Los Angeles into its initial lockdowns.
