Judith Henry Exhibition Examines Celebrity, Aging and Identity in Summit
Judith Henry's work examines celebrity, aging and identity. Visitors to Judith Henry: Me as Her, an exhibition opening at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Summit, NJ on April 17 will encounter what on first view appears to be black-and-white portraits of Amy Winehouse, Georgia O'Keefe, Julia Child and Lucille Ball. When viewed more closely, they will notice that the portraits are actually cut out images being used as a mask by the artist. Posing behind the faces of well-known and accomplished women who have died, Judith Henry uses public locations near her Williamsburg, Brooklyn home to stage these portraits.
