Embers
Artists:
Sara Marlowe Hall
Jeffrey Sugishita
Meier St is proud to invite artist Sara Marlowe Hall to exhibit her new body of work, Embers, a series of paintings that reflect on the shifting landscapes of Los Angeles in the aftermath of the city’s recent fires. This Series of paintings trace the movement of the city through color, form, and memory. Each painting begins with the impression of an ember—small bursts of color that migrate across the canvas, symbolizing both destruction and renewal. From this starting point, Hall builds layers of abstraction with heavy mixed mediums and acrylic that reference the city’s architectural roads, fractured grids, and the tonal shifts of the sky from East to West Los Angeles. This marks the first time Embers will be shown in Los Angeles. In a deliberate curatorial choice, the exhibition will be installed in the architectural home at Meier St, where the raw materials and clean lines of the space echo the works’ structural forms. Showing this series in a domestic setting is both poetic and intentional: at a time when many homes were lost to fire, these paintings inhabit a home as an act of remembrance and resilience. Hall’s work becomes both a remembrance and a reconstruction—tracing how we absorb rupture, how place carries memory, and how beauty can emerge even from destruction.August 30, 2025
