Current Exhibition

The Edge of the World
Rachel Denny
March 30 – April 30, 2026

The Alexander Gallery is pleased to present The Edge of the World, a solo exhibition of work by Rachel Denny. This exhibition runs March 30 through April 30, 2026. A reception will be held Wednesday, April 1st from noon to 1pm and Rachel will speak about her work at 12:30pm.

In The Edge of the World, mixed media sculptural installations of animals are created through organization of found and repurposed materials to explore society's desire to control the natural world. Automotive objects, wire, computer cables and other cast offs are coupled with textile materials to bring creatures to life and offer viewers an opportunity to reflect on human consumption. Please join us in celebrating this work!

Rachel Denny is an Oregon artist residing in the Cascade Foothills. Her work has been shown internationally in Toronto, Canada and throughout the United States. She is currently represented by Visions West Contemporary Gallery.

This exhibition is supported by funds from the Oregon Arts Commission, a policy-making and advisory body within the Oregon Business Development Department, funded by the State of Oregon and The Ford Family Foundation.
