Finger Lakes Community College’s downtown gallery, ArtSpace36, will open a soft sculpture exhibit by Anna Warfield on Friday, June 17.
Hours are Thursday through Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. at the gallery at 36 S. Main St., Canandaigua. The show runs through Sept. 30. A closing reception will be held in September.
Warfield uses words made with fabric to turn ideas about femininity around.
In her artist’s statement, she writes: “In working with both fiber and text, I address complexities in sexuality, femininity, ownership, language, and voice. The materials serve to further complicate the picture. Beyond employing ‘women’s work’ in the service of an unabashedly feminist voice, the fibrous materials also initially cause the works to read like comfort objects – squishable and soft – before revealing themselves to be explicit, demanding, or contorted.”
Warfield holds bachelor’s degrees in fine arts and communication, both from Cornell University, where she has been invited back multiple times to guest lecture. In 2019, Warfield was recognized by the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce for her work in the arts and notable impact on the wider community as a young professional with a HYPE Award.

Canandaigua City Manager speaks to the newest members of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at FLCC.
The Finger Lakes Community College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the honor society for two-year colleges, inducted 211 members over the course of the last year.
Canandaigua City Manager John Goodwin, who joined PTK while a student at Jamestown Community College, was the keynote speaker at ceremony in May. He described his path to his current role in public administration, urging students to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
Goodwin also shared his thoughts on leadership, explaining his personal emphasis on honesty, transparency and authenticity. “There’s no limit what you can accomplish, or what can be accomplished, if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit,” he added.
Phi Theta Kappa promotes scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship. FLCC’s chapter, Alpha Epsilon Chi, was chartered in 1981 and provides leadership, service and scholarship opportunities for members. Membership requires completion of 15 hours of associate degree coursework and a GPA of 3.0. Phi Theta Kappa members also serve as campus ambassadors.
