Take a look behind the scenes with Hilary Harnischfeger as she prepares for her exhibition “Songs for Clouds” on view January 16 – March 7, 2026.
Harnischfeger’s work is grounded in a sustained engagement with material transformation and the slow processes of the natural world. Drawing inspiration from specific landscapes—often mountain peaks—her works evoke geological formations shaped over vast spans of time. Rather than presenting direct representations of place, Harnischfeger constructs forms that appear weathered, stratified, and eroded, as if shaped by tectonic pressure, sedimentation, and mineral accretion rather than by human hands.
