Frani Evedon, "Into Madness"

Buffalo Arts Studio is honored to present “Into Madness,” a powerful and deeply introspective photographic exhibition by artist Frani Evedon, on view from July 25 through September 5, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Friday, July 25, from 5:00–8:00 PM, in conjunction with M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. The exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the public.

“Into Madness” is a series of thirteen photographic works that examine the emotional and physical toll of addiction, illness, and medical intervention. Drawing on her personal experience with heroin addiction, Hepatitis C, and the “cure” that nearly killed her, Evedon’s images reflect both the seduction of escape and the harsh realities that follow. Though her addiction lasted only a few years, its consequences have endured for four decades. Through her art, Evedon translates this journey into visual metaphors that confront trauma, survival, and the fragile hope of healing.
