Adrienne Sloane On Edge

On Edge, Topical Fiber Work by Adrienne Sloane

Bromfield Gallery
450 Harrison Street
Boston, MA
November 1-30, 2019

Regular gallery hours are Wednesday – Sunday 12-5pm.

Responding viscerally to the political landscape of the day, Sloane’s work engages and challenges viewers in her personal, provocative responses to contemporary issues. Through her attempts to knit together the frayed places around her, Sloane seeks to promote thoughtful dialogue about critical questions. Often drawing on iconic imagery in her work, this exhibit also includes the third in a series of knit flags titled, “The Unraveling,” which the artist is unraveling against the backdrop of the Constitution.
