We first came across the work of Andrew Sedgwick Guth a few years back when we caught the closing night of his show at the Shann Treadwell Gallery in Provincetown, and we were instantly smitten.  Goth is an award-winning artist from Pennsylvania whose work often seeks to convey personal narratives, translated through the lens of his experiences as a queer man in North America. He creates a layered environment in which the viewer can project their own story through the piecing together of visuals and text, relying on personal associations to the arrangements, color and objects to dictate the experience.

The work is especially poignant in the way it merges embroidery and craft traditions—like taufscheine frakturs and mourning embroideries—with modern symbolism, astrology, and explorations of love, family, and spiritualism.

Scott Roberts Projects is presenting its inaugural exhibition, Someday I May Know You Very Well by Sedgwick Guth, opening October 3rd at Artbug gallery in the Arts District. This marks Guth’s Los Angeles debut, featuring 12 mixed media paintings infused with the rich folk art traditions of his Pennsylvania Dutch heritage while weaving in themes of mythology, intimacy, queer identity, and personal reinvention.
