This time we visit Adam Weekley at his studio in his home on Buffalo’s west side. Weekley is putting the final touches on the individual pieces that will make up an installation at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in The Church at 341 Delaware Avenue. He talks about the process of creating this fairy tale like installation, which includes blue bear costume, a grouping of bee-hives, drawings of bees, golden colored birds, and butterscotch candies. While there is never a direct narrative to his work, the viewing allows you to weave your own story around his often lush and also funny objects, drawings, paintings and photography.
Originally from West Virginia, Weekley came to UB for graduate school, and currently teaches at Villa Maria College. Recently, he has had solo exhibitions at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Olean Public Library, and Black and White Gallery in Brooklyn.
