Elana Adler

opens solo exhibition “To Through”

Light green textile sculpture

To Through, a solo exhibition by Textile & Fashion Design Technician Elana Adler, opens Saturday, June 10, 2023 with an opening reception 5-8pm at Buoy Gallery in Kittery, ME.

About To Through

To Through brings together works that function through materiality in an interstitial space where we are confronted with what is in between. The objects are seemingly enigmatic, tools without buttons or signs without words. Adler puts material to this usually forgotten space past boundaries where our vantage point usually stops. Through emphasis on what is normally forgotten we are caught off guard in the best way before the work brings us back to resolve.
