Tompkins
County Public Library will celebrate the opening of two exhibits, “Through
Their Eyes: Grandparents and
Grandchildren” and “The Barn Story,” during Downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night August
2.
Curated by photographer David O. Watkins, “Through Their Eyes” explores how artists see their grandchildren or grandparents-- in reality or abstraction. Featured works were submitted during an open call for artists and encompass a variety of mediums, including: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, collage, fabric art and collaborative construction.
“The Barn Story,” an illustrated memoir by Deborah Jones, is a 56-page, barn-shaped book chronicling Jones’ experience renovating a 19th century barn into a home and studio. Divided into two parts, the first half of the book describes the process of converting the space, while the second half documents the results.
Original drawings, watercolors and page-layouts created to illustrate the story will be displayed along with barn-shaped panels detailing the steps Jones followed during the creation of the book.
Downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. the first Friday of each month. Access to the Library during Gallery Night is through the BorgWarner Community Room entrance, adjacent to the Green Street TCAT shelter.
