Elana Adler is a multidisciplinary artist. She uses the grid as a tactical mapping system, and a geometric configuration inherited from the past. It is a constant variable that is continually translated and transformed. Utilizing the grid as an accessible visual language, Adler makes work inspired by complex systems and structures of power while challenging expectation through material potential. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Adler received a BFA in Textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008 and a MFA in Fibers & Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017. She currently lives and works in Portland, ME.
