ABOUT LENA
Lena’s work lies on the borderline of craft and story. Though it may vary in media, a sense of momentousness and soft, tactile familiarity is constant. The tapestries she weaves are snapshots of time, each a specific moment of grief, aging, and evolving familial relationships. As a musician, her voice has been another outlet, her guitar another set of strings to play with.
ABOUT TEMPEST GALLERY
At TEMPEST, we want to talk about art in a maelstrom. We invite artists to be unafraid to broach difficult conversations and address colonial structures of violence through their practice in textiles, sculpture and installation. Our main desire is that each monthly show present layered themes where multiple cultural references intersect and tussle.
Launched in 2024, Tempest Gallery is located at Rockella Space’s One Eyed Studios in Ridgewood, Queens. Through our programming and events, we aim to create community and a space for gathering, presenting work and building relationships.
Please visit us at 1642 Weirfield Street, Ridgewood Queens, NY, during our regular gallery hours Wednesday-Saturday, 1-6pm.
