Max Adrian’s artist talk and opening reception for his Herron Galleries show “Swell” will feature discussion of his signature sewing-related works.

ARTIST TALK: 6:15 p.m. in the Basile Auditorium

OPENING RECEPTION: 7 p.m. in the Basile Gallery

Max Adrian is a textile artist whose work explores queerness, desire, and consumerism. He finds inspiration in a variety of sewing-related crafts like quilting, bag making, inflatables, costume design, puppetry, drag, and fetish wear. His postmodern playscapes interrogate the ways in which the things we desire impact a sense of personal identity and community building in a culture of hyper stimulation. Adrian holds an M.F.A. in Fiber and Material Studies from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia. He received a B.F.A. in Fiber and Creative Writing from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2015.
