INTERWOVEN & LOVE IN THE SHADOW | October 3-25, 2025| Atlantic Works Gallery

Atlantic Works Gallery is pleased to present two concurrent shows: Interwoven by Maryellen Cahill and Love in the Shadows by Charlene Liska. Doors open Friday October 3, and the opening reception is on Saturday, October 4, from 6 – 9 pm. There is also a “Third Thursday” reception with artist’s talks on Thursday, October 16. Additionally, we will be participating in the annual East Boston Open Studios event at 80 Border Street on October 11 and 12. Interwoven by Maryellen Cahill Interwoven is an exploration of texture and storytelling through stitch. This body of work reimagines the traditional surfaces of textiles—especially the familiar canvas of children’s white shirts—by pushing them beyond their intended forms into dimensional, tactile pieces that blur the line between function and expression. In the first half of the exhibit, these crisp, white garments become the foundation for playful experimentation. The shirts are cut, folded, or reshaped—released from their original purpose and turned into sculptural forms. The second half of the exhibition draws viewers into smaller, quieter worlds. Circles of paper and fabric create 3D intricate micro-landscapes, inviting close inspection. These pieces have a precise layout, playing off the color and pattern of each individual sphere to create a complete visual experience. Love in the Shadows by Charlene Liska What You Love and What You Hide: I’ve been thinking about black and white photography for some time. The absolutism of black and white and how it contains all of the possibilities between the poles of light and dark -- what you love and what you hide. What you love and what you sing out of your own sweet depths when you just feel like it, when maybe no one is listening, maybe not even yourself. The sweetness of the grayscale tonal continuum a universe in itself, without the “candy” of colors. Liska works in video, painting, and photography. She paints from photographs, photographs the paintings, and often then silkscreen-prints both. Her imagery is drawn internally from personal and social experiences, many associated with the “grand mal” epileptic seizures she suffered through much of adulthood, now mercifully gone. Externally-stimulated imagery comes largely from the 14 years she spent living in the northern Labrador wilderness, hundreds of miles from the electrical grid and the road system. This is her first show of monochrome photography. Atlantic Works Gallery, 80 Border Street, East Boston, MA 02128, now in its twenty-first year, is an artist-run collaborative space for art and ideas. Open to the public every Friday and Saturday, 2-6 p.m. For more information, visit https://atlanticworks.org/.
