Wasting Daylight

Wasting Daylight was Allison McGovney’s debut solo exhibition at The Mansion 731 Gallery in Columbus, OH. This exhibition took place in April of 2023. Watch a full walkthrough of this exhibition at the bottom of this page.

“Wasting Daylight follows a dreamy narrative colored with grief and escapism. I create paintings and installations inspired by real life experiences of loss and trauma. I use these images to navigate spaces and feelings existing somewhere between life and death. Unclothed bodies create a sense of vulnerability and exposure, while tightly clasped hands reveal tension, and longing. Repeated objects and mark making styles reflect bouts of obsessive thought patterns and repeated habits. Explore these chromatic thought-scapes and reflect on life, death, grief, and everything in between.”
