I visited with Ruth Asawa’s family in San Francisco a few years ago in the house Ruth and her husband lovingly put together and which her son, Paul Lanier  a talented artist also, maintains in the spirit of his inspirational parents. Despite a rugged childhood being interned at Santa Anita racetrack as a Japanese American Ruth went in to study with Josef Albers at Black Mountain and became an educator who devoted herself to raising awareness of the arts in schools along with her own wire sculpture practice.  The USPS has now issued a set of stamps of her work and if you need to snail mail while you are social distancing you can order these online. Each message will then have a touch of Ruth’s uplift to carry it on its way.
