Cindy Stokes has a solo exhibition of her black and whitie photography series Before.

Cindy says: While visiting old homesteads and industrial sites, I wonder about the people who erected the buildings, fashioned the tools, and simply lived and worked daily at the sites. The commonplace markings and artifacts at these places feel like unintended artworks that retain something of the lives lived there before. My images from these structures represent memory and history etched in wood, cement and steel.
