Burns Blue, a solo exhibition by Hayden Dunham, was on view at New York’s Company, between May 3 and June 2.
In an exhibition space bathed in a faint blue wash of light, the show offers material investigations into the form and fabrication of glass with suspended and wall-mounted sculptural works. The pieces have a sense of presence and tension in the room that is further gelled together through light refractions and shadows.
As the catalogue texts elicits in moments of poetry: “Glass is a wall, burned down to a fevered river, tempered by the air into cold contour. And when shattered, the site of rough prism. A new being. It is for the light to shine through, and the dark to bud against. Where the dark grows, a slow blur between line and boundary, between body and material.”**
