A Bit Frayed Here by Elizabeth Elich

On display May 2 – June 29, 2025

About the Exhibition:
Through an intimate collection of cross-stitched works and meticulously hand-woven paper pieces, Elich creates a visceral and urgent response to the aftermath of Roe v. Wade’s overturning. Her work is a declaration of bodily autonomy, grief, and resistance. At its core, this body of work serves as a visual form to the emotional and physical toll in the climate of increasing reproductive restrictions.
