In 1967, Dorothy Iannone moved in with a swiss artist and they became lovers. Continuing their live together, Dorothy began making art that entertwined her personal and amorous life with her artistic life. This solo-exhibition, Lineage of Love, is the accumulation of all the artwork she has created since then. With a great variety in media and installation, from cooking diaries, to collages, to photography, to graphic novels, she creates an inner narrative of a versatile artist going through life, trying to find "a symbiosis between art and her personal narratives." This embodies the idea from the Helensworth articles of artists feeling the need to merge their two lives, of art and of their personal lives into one, to answer the existential calling of being an artist.
