Dandelion
June 29 - August 4, 2024
“Dandelion”, an exhibition of all nine of Los Angeles artist Seth Lower’s blue spiral-bound diary books.
Made over the course of eight years, the related-but-separate volumes combine images and text to cover a huge range of territory and life experience, revolving around the life-shattering cancer diagnosis of Lower’s wife Jo-hsin in the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak.
‘”When people asked my wife Jo-hsin what I take pictures of she would say “rocks and trash.” This project is perhaps my most sustained effort yet at looking at rocks and trash, but it is also the places we went, the things we talked about, and what our home was like before it was ripped apart by cancer.’
Small changes can be seen from day to day and page to page, witnessed in long sequences of subtly different images, taken in and around the couple’s home, and on two subsequent trips dealing with love, loss, and Lower’s need to record the world changing around him.
Also on view are a selection of prints from Dandelion, the third book in the series.
