Hathaway’s paintings usually combine a dual aspect, which expands the traditional view of the abstract and optical, as John Yau states in his article on Halsey’s work:
“The variations in the surface pull viewers closer, making us aware that color and materiality (or immateriality) cannot be separated. No matter how optical a color may become, our experience of it is - to state the obvious - visceral. The skin of acrylic paint presents a different kind of visceral experience from that of the stains because it privileges the tactile.”
This tactility speaks of emotions and feelings through a complex relationship of the physical work and our subjective perceptual experiences. Hathaway seeks to make work that is intentionally vulnerable to the relationship of changing environments, of light and space; to the fluctuating subjectivity of the viewer.
