Opening Echoes

a solo exhibition of handbound books, photographs, and writing

Exhibition ran from April 22nd through May 28th, 2022


Below are installation shots of the exhibition, which took place at Gallery Kayafas in Boston, MA.


Opening Echoes is Byrne’s first solo exhibition, and consists of four bodies of work that share a search for rationale, comfort, and desire in a recollection of histories which may not exist. The books, installations, and assembled photographs are contemplations on the power of nostalgia, including a longing for things that never happened; the urge to salvage a misspent adolescence; the need for reason amid romantic discordance; and the effort to reclaim ownership over a body and self when they suddenly feel foreign.”
