Current & Upcoming:
“I stopped by Winston Wächter Fine Art today to catch Seeker, a quietly dazzling show by Heather Hutchison. From a distance, her wall-mounted constructions look like minimalist lightboxes. But as you move in closer, they shift—colors hover, shadows stretch, forms slip out of focus. The pieces aren't quite landscape, and they're not quite abstraction either. They seem to hold something in between: air, memory, time.
Hutchison has been making these meditative works since the late 1980s, using materials like beeswax, plexiglass, tape, and mirrors. There's no internal light source, but the boxes feel lit from within, like they're breathing. Some works from her recent residency in Bisbee, Arizona, pick up the curve of the sun or the haze of wildfire smoke, but nothing is fixed. You get the sense she's painting with atmosphere itself-capturing not a place, but the sensation of watching it change. Hutchison, who lives and works in Woodstock, has stayed committed to a singular pursuit: finding ways to trap light without stopping it.”

"... Heather Hutchison and Helen Lundeberg capture the elusiveness of fleeting light in sculptural and painting form. Richard Wilson’s multi-toned grid is transmuted into the welcoming glow of open windows when placed beside Mark Feldstein’s black-and-white photograph of shuttered windows on a building’s façade. Cecilia Z. Miguez and Ynez Johnston play with vertical frieze patterns of mysterious narrative imagery across vastly different scales, while Mark Leonard and Alfredo Ramos Martínez question the roles and meanings of architectural and communal spaces through absence and presence."
