Sunny but Cold: Diaries of Farm Women - Opening Reception

Opening reception for 'Sunny But Cold: Diaries of Farm Women,' an exhibition that illuminates the often-unseen labor of women on New York State farms. Drawing on 19th- and 20th-century diaries, the project reveals daily life recorded in brief notes on weather, chores, family care, and community events—testimony to women's endurance and quiet optimism. Working from archival photographs, including WPA images from World War II, the artist translates these histories into textile collages, embroideries and drawings.
