Tioga Arts Council (TAC) is honored to announce its February exhibition, Between Here and There, works by Cindy Henry. The exhibition opens on First Friday, February 7, from 5 – 8 p.m. in the Main Gallery located at 179 Front Street in Owego. Join us for an Artist Talk with Henry at 6:00 p.m.

About The Exhibition

Between Here and There features recent images by Cindy Henry that reveal brief glimpses into places past and present that hold important symbolism in Cindy’s life. A place may represent a time of escape, as in Adirondack Front Porch in June, which was inspired by a 2020 getaway with friends at Lake George. Other places refer to daily life and the ordinary, and still others a transition from past to present or present to future. 

Places become etched in our memory in ways that define our experiences in those spaces and recount the smells, sights, sounds and feelings we shared there. Simple objects such as a chair provide reference to important events or figures that have influenced Cindy in her life and work. A chair can be an invitation to sit, a place where someone belongs, a call to task, or a reminder of an absence as it emphasizes a void in the space. 

Places become etched in our memory in ways that recall and even become our experiences in those spaces. In these works, Cindy romances the ordinary by attending to place and space as she captures moments in time through paint, collage, fabric, and stitching.
