New works by two long time members of TAG/The Artists Gallery are the focus of the October exhibition. Sarah Higgins and Tricia Stockman bring their individual perspectives to abstract painting and photography, respectively. In her show titled “Abstracted Realities,” Sarah Higgins presents recent paintings and drawing that reflect her continuing interest in perceived reality. The photography of Tricia Stockman continues her exploration of the ubiquitous presence of birds. She concludes this presence can be predictable and universal. Through her photography Stockman suggests that birds are notations, exhibit repetitions and patterns when birds hold a “meet up.” The collection incorporates straightforward photography, photo collage and photo filters in response to the initial observation of birds on a wire. TAG will also have a show of new work by other members of the gallery. The exhibition runs from Friday, October 4 through Sunday, October 27. Opening reception for the artists is Saturday, October 5, from 5 to 9pm. Gallery hours are Friday and Saturday from noon to 9pm and Sunday, noon until 5pm, or by appointment.
