Gab Hall, “In Between Two Tall Mountains”, April 24–May 30, 2026

Hall finds comfort in the fact that the world isn’t about us. No matter how great an impact we as people have on the planet, there will always be elements of nature, the mind, and life that we have no control over. There will always exist a reality that we hold no weight in.

In Between Two Tall Mountains is a collection inspired by nature, isolation, insignificance, and the complex network of emotions that come along with facing the unknown. These 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. Each piece invites the viewer to interact with movement, sound, and shadow to observe a world that was not made for us.

Artist Bio

Gabrielle Hall (b. 1996 in Bennington, Vermont) is a mixed media artist working primarily in fiber and textiles, living in Buffalo, New York. They use strong color contrast and exaggerated texture in their work to turn painful emotions and memories into soft sculptures.

 “Distilling ambiguous and sometimes intense concepts into strong, simple visuals is a way for me to define and process raw emotions, separating them from my mind so I can see them face to face.” 

They are inspired by their childhood in Vermont and connect to their home through color choices and recurring natural themes. They will graduate from Buffalo State University with a BFA in Fiber Design in 2026. Their work has been featured in group shows at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, WNY Book Arts Center, and the Arts Council of Wyoming County Fiber Flurry of 2025. They are currently working as a textile consultant for Torn Space Theater.
