Picture this: You are a set of clothes hangers strung out on a rooftop clothesline, placed there by a family trying to extend their supply of square footage and fresh air in their small apartment. Throughout “The Lams of Ludlow Street,” an exhibition of photographs by Thomas Holton at the Baxter St Camera Club of New York, certain objects, like those clothes hangers, will pop up over and over again.
Holton’s photographs are drawn from his eponymous series, begun in 2003, that follows the Lams, a Chinese-American family living in New York City’s Chinatown. The project centers on domestic textures, drawing attention not only to where, but how, the Lams live.
