HAYLEY TOMPKINS – SURROUNDINGS
2025-08-25For surroundings, Hayley Tompkins brings together a new suite of acrylic paintings on wood panels, incorporating them into an installation with painted sticks and fabric pieces. These transfigured common objects and gestural, abstract paintings mix a dreamlike quality with a sense of the ordinary. Tompkins’ exhibition title provides no specifics or location, and instead suggests an ever-changing set of circumstances, conditions and possibilities; both a position unique to each person and a shared set of coordinates for seeking commonalities and sympathies with others. In this way, the title speaks to the act of installing the works to create a temporary environment for the viewer.
