I Wept at the Tomb of My Mother's Tongue

Blade Study is proud to present I Wept at the Tomb of My Mother's Tongue, Adrienne Greenblatt's first solo exhibition at the gallery, having previously shown in "Speak Ill", 2025. Adrienne Greenblatt (b. 1995, Reading, UK) is a multidisciplinary artist, curator and poet based in Brooklyn, NY. They hold a Bachelor in Theatre and Dance with a concentration in Costumes from the University of Texas at Austin (2017) and recently completed specialized training in various glass mediums at UrbanGlass in Brooklyn. Adrienne’s practice is characterized by its multisensory nature and draws strong inspirations from alchemy, the body, metalworking, and esotericism. Using lampworking and kiln forming techniques, they craft experimental glass forms that appear aqueous and frozen. Their Texan upbringing, mixed Salvadoran-Jewish heritage, deep interests in the spiritual and natural realms, as well as their fascination with synesthesia, the human body, and illness, profoundly inform their creative work. Adrienne Greenblatt has performed in spaces such as M. Leblanc in Chicago, KAJE in Brooklyn, Printed Matter St. Marks, Slip House, and Sara’s @ Dunkunsthalle in NYC. Their glasswork has been shown at Weatherproof’s The Hole in Chicago, IL; Espace Maurice in Montréal; Snow Gallery, and The Sue Tear in Brooklyn; and Blade Study in NYC. Adrienne has also organized and curated off-site projects and exhibitions at spaces such as No Gallery and GernEnRegalia in NYC, as well as the beach at Fort Tilden, NY. They are one half of the dynamic sound project nochipa.
