“In Between Two Tall Mountains” and “Breathing In and Out”

Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present In Between Two Tall Mountains by Gabrielle Hall and Breathing In and Out by Brianna Bernas, concurrent exhibitions by two senior fiber art majors from Buffalo State University that explore concepts of emotional resilience, adaptability, and making material the immaterial. 

The exhibitions will be on view from April 24 through May 30, 2026. An artist reception will be held on Saturday, May 9, from 11:00 am to 1:00pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Both artists will speak briefly about their work starting at 12:00pm.

Gabrielle Hall’s In Between Two Tall Mountains is a collection of soft sculptures, weavings, and collages are an exploration of how fiber can be utilized in ways beyond two-dimensional visuals, bridging the gap between art and the space it inhabits. Brianna Bernas’ Breathing In and Out is a series of woven and felted pieces that look to the body and nature for symbols of adaptability and strength to challenge notions of emotional resilience and what it means to be “soft” in the face of hardship.
