Reception: February 15, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Etta Ehrlich

Andrew Edlin Gallery

529 W 20th St

In AE SPACE , the gallery's project room, Etta Ehrlich will be having her second solo exhibit with the gallery. Though also born in 1931, Ehrlich is a relative newcomer to artmaking. She has been a practicing psychologist for over 40 years. Her counseling process is infused with tenets of Eastern thought and meditation.

Around 1999, she began to apply the stenciled text of her haiku-like thoughts and sayings onto the surfaces of rare and antique bottles. The interplay between the words and fragile artifacts makes Ehrlich's messages more searing and worthy of contemplation.

More recently, the artist has expanded her use of materials to include digitized LED texts, antique tools, vials and other historical markers significant for their designs and former uses. Retired from their original purpose, Ehrlich uses these objects as vehicles for her powerful ideas and beliefs derived from a lifetime of devotion to the awareness of unconscious thought within us all.

"When I am in Kyoto, I wish I was in Kyoto"
