My book Finding the Meniscus is now available 💘 link in bio to purchase
I sent the first edit of this book to Jūratė three years ago, and she turned it into what you see today. It would not exist as it does without her support, encouragement, and eye.
Also a big thank you to the team at @nonstopprintingla — Leiman said they’ll be using some of my images as a stress test moving forward 👼
Excerpt from @cremepouf ’s press release—
In Finding the Meniscus, Leah Rom moves back in with her mother and makes a set of family pictures inspired by their dynamic—the soft edges dividing them, the mirrors they become for each other.
This collection of photographs from the cloistral years of 2020 and 2021 sees a returned daughter get closer and closer to her mother—close enough to focus on the foliage caught in her hair and the droplets of water splattered across her glasses. Later, photographs of friends mingle with the pictures taken at home. Euphoric and frenetic, Leah’s flash bounces hard off shiny places and people; the quotidian refuse of daily life is gleaming and exalted too.
In the tradition of Larry Sultan’s seminal Pictures from Home, this collection materializes as both an emergent self-portrait and as a wish that photographs accomplish the ever-impossible task of capturing the world.
