Heather Hutchison: Here Now

by

Heather Hutchison exhibits her latest work into the inquiry of light and transparency at Cross Contemporary Art, Saugerties, NY with an opening reception for the artist Sat Dec 6, 6-8pm. Utilizing bent Plexiglas, video installations or paint on transparent paper, Ms. Hutchison captures the flickering moments of natural light. Cindy Moore writes:  “Hutchison’s paintings are impossible to experience through reproductions. No matter how skilled the photographer, they cannot be captured in a fixed moment.  The work is responsive in a way alien to traditional painting: as the light shifts so does the hue.”  
Relocated from NYC to the Hudson Valley, Heather Hutchison has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants  (Pollock-Krasner, Gottleib Foundation),and her work is in many prestigious collections including the The Brooklyn Museum, Hammer Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.

Curator’s Essay for “Collection”

“Collection: An Exhibition of a Personal Art Installation”
As we live, we collect and what we collect becomes our totems-reliquaries of our hopes and poignant representatives of who we are and want to be. The private art collection is an installation that becomes a personal environment. Each collector acquires objects made by others and creates a private museum.
Life events such as death or divorce can force the dismantling of a collection. The objects are no longer relevant to a lost marriage or possible in a downsized location or of interest to heirs. The attempt to connect to timelessness through art acquisition is heroic. To seek connectivity through disparate elements is an art in itself. The dispersion of a collection is natural to its life cycle as paintings and sculptures scatter again across the world to be recombined in another space and time. And a new installation is born.
