Since her first solo exhibition in SoHo in 1989, Heather Hutchison has been developing and innovating methods and mediums—including hand-building and bending Plexiglass forms—to facilitate her artistic process. She shares similar concerns with the Light and Space artists and has spent decades observing and contemplating nature, raised between coastal Oregon, Laguna Beach, Marin County, and the mile-high desert along the southern border in Bisbee, Arizona.
In her first solo exhibition with Bentley Gallery, Hutchison is showcasing a brand new suite of eco-feminist constructions that capture the phenomenological essence of natural light. Each artwork is a direct inquiry into the perceptual experience of color, light, and shadow particular to a time of day and place.
