Printmaker\, photographer\, sculptor\, bookmaker\, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University’s School of Art\, AP’s artwork is in over 50 institutional collections\, including the Vatican Library\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, and the Library of Congress. \nThough many of AP’s professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo\, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood\, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories\, digitized materials from Buffalo’s cultural institutions\, and the artist’s own work\, the Library’s Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP’s career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment\, working outside established channels to create a world for himself. \nThe exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library’s Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP\, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room. \nSee https://www.buffalolib.org/locations-hours/central-downtown-buffalo for hours. \nOpening reception at Central Library on January 29\, 2026 from 5:30 pm–8:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided; the curator and artist will be present to talk about the exhibit.

In this new solo exhibition\, Alexa Joan Givens Wajed reflects on the quiet accumulation of a life spent nurturing others while continuing to create in the spaces that remain. \nAlexa Wajed has lovingly poured herself outward into family\, children\, partnership\, and the quiet labor of supporting others’ lives and careers. Through it all\, she has remained an artist\, her creative moments revealing little parts of herself. Intimate in scale and generous in spirit\, each piece becomes a serving\, a moment of presence\, memory\, or release\, offerings that when experienced side by side\, are revealed to be enough. \nSmall meditative abstract line works emerge through intuitive mark-making. Created without expectation\, they quiet the mind and allow a lyrical flow to take over. The process itself is healing\, an act of listening rather than directing. The lines move\, pause\, and breathe\, mirroring the internal rhythms of care\, exhaustion\, and renewal. \nLittle Parts of Me unfolds through three interwoven sections. Works on paper are created using natural dyes made from pomegranate skins\, beets\, hibiscus\, and butterfly pea flowers. Each material carries memory and intention: pomegranate skins as an echo of her father\, butterfly pea flowers for healing. Gum arabic and cloves are added to preserve the pigments\, though fading is inevitable. Like memory\, the body\, like care itself\, these materials shift\, wash away slightly\, and change over time. Nothing here is meant to remain untouched. \nVessels: baskets\, bowls\, compartments\, purses—forms designed to hold. These works reflect the human tendency to carry more than we should\, and longer than we realize. The artist asks: Why do I possess so many containers? They are all just there\, empty. What am I holding on to? They speak to unconscious accumulation: emotional labor\, responsibility\, grief\, love. They linger between fullness and release\, asking what it means\, what it feels like\, to finally empty something when we know we need to. \nSpice Drops draw directly from memory\, specifically the artist’s mother\, who loved the candy of the same name. Actual spices are incorporated into the works\, blending scent\, texture\, nostalgia\, and Wajed’s culinary background. These pieces are small but potent\, grounding sweetness in substance. \nBlack Drops shift the language. Fine line work interrupted by larger black dots. They act as punctuation marks\, moments of gravity\, silence\, and interruption\, some thoughts landing heavier than others. \nPortraits & Abstract Identities: six digital drawings that anchor the exhibition in the human figure. An exploration through black and white compositions\, punctuated with color\, where identity is fluid\, layered\, and unfinished—never one thing\, never fully named. These are not likenesses so much as rendered emotional presences\, attitudes\, characters\, fractured mental states. Each portrait is paired with a poem\, extending the image into the language and interiority of the artist. \nGesture Acquires Mass: the exhibition introduces sculptural pieces that extend Wajed’s signature line work into three dimensional space. Large cutout shapes\, manually constructed and carved using sign-making materials\, and wood\, further evolve her long standing practice in leather work and bring her meditative mark making into the physical realm with no expectations. \nThis exhibition is not about grand gestures. It is about what is possible in between—responsibilities\, difficult and beautiful moments—embracing all that she has\, she honors what can be made in portions.
