‘Ricochet’

Solo Exhibition with Diane Rosenstein Gallery, Los Angeles, 2020

Excerpt taken from Diane Rosenstein Gallery’s press release:

Diane Rosenstein Gallery is pleased to announce Heather Day: Ricochet -- a solo exhibition of paintings and works on paper by the Bay Area-based artist.

The title of the exhibition – Ricochet – refers to the artist’s process of navigating her compositions as one mark leads to the next, without a predestined resolution. The title is also a metaphor for the global chain of reactions in our natural environment, social and cultural space, and intuitive relationships with each other. This body of work is a new chapter in her practice, beginning with the monumental diptych Fever Dream (2020), which serves as the bridge. The pairing of the two canvases recalls the seam of her sketchbook; and anticipates the new stitched paintings in this exhibition, such as Space Between (2020) which she describes as a “mind map.”
