Installation view, Winter: Justin Chance & Sylvie Hayes-Wallace, 2023
Winter is a word, feeling, thought, season— a blank space which contains the multitudes and the nothingness of timelines remembered and those yet to be written.
HESSE FLATOW is pleased to announce the opening of Winter, a two-person exhibition of works by Justin Chance and Sylvie Hayes-Wallace, organized by Jamie Sterns.
Winter is a word, feeling, thought, season— a blank space which contains the multitudes and the nothingness of timelines remembered and those yet to be written.
In Winter, sculptures, drawings, embroidery, collage, language, and installation reflect on the literal and interpersonal interpretations of the season: as construct, objective truth, method, and frame of mind. Eventually most things come to a conclusion in preparation for spring.
