Heather DayHourglass

Almine Rech New York, Tribeca presents 'Hourglass,' Heather Day's second solo exhibition with the gallery, running from November 7 to December 19, 2025. Day's paintings are described as indexes of time, capturing ephemeral movement and gesture. The colors in her work are often derived from the atmospheric effects of sunrise and sunset observed in the Mojave Desert, where she lives and works, and from the seasonal blooms of flowers on the Oregon coast.

Day's process involves applying washes of acrylic paint onto canvas, which are then edited and collaged into composite arrangements. The artist uses digital tools to refine color and form combinations before physically cutting and stitching the canvases. This exhibition's titular motif, the hourglass, is subtly referenced in some compositions, suggesting a cyclical nature and the irreversible passage of time, complicated by the artist's engagement with digital processes.
