Collar Works is proud to announce our new program Window Works, now on view featuring golden days, a site specific installation by Kelsey Renko.

 roaming around the streets, walks along the hudson, the light that hits the windows at magic hour…

Inspired by the artist’s nostalgia for her time as a young artist in the city of Troy, golden days is an ode to community and belonging. Having spent much of her early career in the city of Troy (2011-2022), Renko recalls her time here with love and gratitude, rendered here in playful brushstrokes and brilliant color. Renko’s paintings dance carefully along the border between figuration and abstraction, exploring memory and an intimate connection to place. Imbued with the burgeoning possibilities and hopefulness of springtime, golden days offers the viewer a place to pause and experience the same warmth and beauty the artist found here.
