Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to announce “Biformity,” a solo exhibition by Syracuse-based artist Davana Robedee, on view from August 22 through November 7, 2025. The opening reception will take place on Friday, August 22, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main.

“Biformity” explores the layered relationship between body and spirit. Through large-scale textile pieces created using stitch-resist shibori techniques and indigo dye, Robedee delves into the dualities that shape human existence. The title of the exhibition refers to "double form," a concept that permeates the show through works addressing physical limitation and spiritual expansiveness. 

Robedee’s practice is deeply tied to labor and process. She grows her own indigo plants, harvesting and extracting the pigment before using it in a slow, methodical process of image-making. By guiding the indigo through boundaries and resist techniques, the artist facilitates rather than controls the emergence of form. The dye itself functions as both a symbolic and material representation of duality and change.
