ABOUT
A contemporary mixed media/fiber studio artist, Adrienne Sloane absorbs and translates current events into multifaceted and deeply felt constructions that reflect both her own moral universe as well as the ethos of the day. Having begun as a sculptural knitter, she continues to draw from a fiber toolbox while increasingly incorporating techniques of new media to address the timely yet universal issues that make up the body of her work.
Sloane’s work has been widely published. She has work in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Fuller Craft Museum, the Goldstein Museum of Design, and The Kamm Collection as well as private collections. Besides having exhibited and taught internationally, she has also worked on economic development projects with indigenous knitters in Bolivia and Peru.
"Adrienne's work takes us to the heart of the matter, encouraging a full-frontal view, while amplifying and celebrating our deep and fragile humanness with the truth of our current national landscape."
Paula Estey, PEG Center for Art & Activism
************************************
"Sloane’s is the kind of symbolic artwork—playful but profound, and both timeless and frighteningly of-the-moment—that reaches beyond the screaming partisan headlines and T-shirts and decals. In a room full of noise, it finds the signal."
John Thomason, Boca Magazine
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a mixed media artist with a focus in fiber techniques. Using iconic imagery, my work is frequently a visceral response to the moral and political landscape of the day. By visually addressing the frayed and unraveled places around me, my work seeks to promote thoughtful dialogue about critical questions as we navigate the difficult times we live in.
