CANTON -- “HOME-made: An Autobiographical Exhibit” by Akwesasne Mohawk artist Sue Ellen Herne opens Thursday, Feb. 12 at The TAUNY Center.

The show includes works by the artist and various family members around the theme of home. This includes arts made at home, and those that reflect on the meaning of home. The show opens with a reception that is free and open to the public at The TAUNY Center, 53 Main St., on Thursday, Feb. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The opening will include remarks by the artist and a social singing performance by her sons, Logan and Levi Herne. Light refreshments will be served.

The exhibit also includes traditional basketry, leather- and bead-work, and sewing that all come together to express ideas of home, leaving home, taking home with you, longing for home and returning home, TAUNY said.

Herne is a 1982 graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design painting department and a 1978 high school graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. She has been the museum coordinator at the Akwesasne Cultural Center since 1995.
