Pia Paulina Guilmoth: Flowers Drink the River

CLAMP is honored to present Flowers Drink the River, a solo exhibition by Fall 2024 featured artist, Pia Paulina Guilmoth—her first with the gallery. In this deeply personal body of work, Guilmoth documents the first two years of her gender transition while living in a rural, predominantly right-wing town in Maine. Her large-format photographs reflect both beauty and terror in a world where queer existence can be at turns both euphoric and deeply perilous. Haunting nocturnes replete with moths, snakes, and owls, are animated by raw, animistic rituals, representing Guilmoth’s search for beauty, sanctuary, and resistance amid the wild landscapes and intimate relationships that define her life.
