Hayley Barker - Laguna Castle - Publications

Night Gallery is delighted to announce the release of Hayley Barker's Laguna Castle, a new catalogue designed by Jessica Fleischmann (Still Room).

Laguna Castle commemorates the artist’s exhibition of the same name, which was on view at Night Gallery from February 18 - March 18, 2023. Barker’s Laguna Castle is a homage to place, a study of time through objects and nonhuman life forms. The artist’s paintings arise from a process of close observation, meditating upon and continuously photographing her surroundings. For Barker, working exclusively from her own photographs is a way to avoid mimeticism, instead using delicately applied layers of oil paint to build colors that are as ethereal and complex as her subjects. In addition to images of the exhibition and the paintings comprising it, this catalogue also includes photographs of Barker's studio and working process.
