Tiffany Adler is an American artist based in Los Angeles, California. Adler is trained in art and architecture. After graduating with her Masters in Architecture in 2017, she practiced at several firms, simultaneously developing her artistic practice while curating and showing works in solo and group exhibitions among galleries in Los Angeles, including Wonzimer. Adler left the profession of architecture in 2023 to focus solely on her career as a visual artist. In the same year, Adler’s first short film circulated film festivals locally and internationally, and was awarded Best Experimental film in Hollywood Screenings Film festival and exhibited in a group show with Before the Moon Falls Gallery.
Adler’s background in art and architecture informs and deviates from the processes upon which her sculptures and contemporary narratives are derived from. Her interests lie both in the process of sculpture as well as the conceptualization, fabrication, and construction of a scene, in service of communicating alternative narratives within classical frameworks of representation and architectural forms. In a woven effort, she explores and portrays evolving cultural ideas about feminism and human connection.
Her experiences as a female identifying person informs her work symbolically through material manipulation, misbehaving formations of the body, and satirical narratives within the medium of film and photography. She uses her own body as part of the narrative, and as a vehicle for communicating such ideas.
