Liza Lou Show at L&M Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA
If you haven’t checked out Liza Lou’s show at L&M Gallery yet, we highly recommend going - it’s one of the best shows we’ve seen this year. The piece pictured directly above titled Gather (one million) is made from nine million beads threaded onto wire to create one million blades of grass. Liza Lou, for the past six years, has maintained a studio in South Africa, where she works with Zulu artisans whose families have worked with beads for generations. While Lou does not borrow from the tradition of African bead work, this new body of work reflects her travels, meditating upon process, the impossibility of perfection, and what Lou terms “the culpability of craft.”
