This exhibition explores themes of life, loss, and resilience through fragile yet sturdy sculptures. A narrative that mirrors real-world events. Closes this weekend.

Visiting Jeanne Silverthorne's exhibition "They Will Be Like Shadows" during the recent Los Angeles fires significantly influenced the interpretation of the works. Her sculptures, crafted from platinum silicone rubber and mixed media—some figurative, others referencing the body—evoked themes of death and destruction, mirroring real-time events. The exhibition unfolds as a narrative on life and loss, reflecting on how an artist's practice relates to the wider world. The pieces are simultaneously fragile and sturdy. The exhibition closes this weekend. Read Jody Zellen’s full review on What’s On Los Angeles.
