Photographers Push Boundaries at Adler Center in Women Undefined

A North Shore photography collective presents familiar objects in abstract ways this October

This October, a collective of local photographers pushes boundaries at the Adler Center in Women Undefined—Transforming Reality into Abstraction.

The thirteen female artists in Women Undefined break the rules of classic photography to present ordinary subjects in surreal ways. They reveal the mind's transformative capabilities, explore the dimensions of their imaginations, and challenge the viewer’s perceptions.

The groups is comprised “of inspiring and supportive abstract photographers from the North Shore area of Chicago” says member Jane Feely, of Highland Park.
