Set at the height of summer, A Short History of Long Days explores the luminous tension between light and shadow, memory and presence. Anchored in the symbolism of the summer solstice—the moment when daylight lingers at its peak—the exhibition traces a poetic journey through time stretched thin. It evokes the long, radiant days we carry within us: instances when time expands, shadows grow long, and we find ourselves held in the stillness between what has been and what is yet to arrive.

Artist Ruby Fear invites us on a visual journey where layered mark-making, shifting transparencies, and contemplative interactions with light transform the exhibition into a passage; a quiet map of those fleeting, transient moments when we felt most alive, most uncertain, most suspended in time.

Ruby Fear is a Colombian British artist who has lived and worked in eleven countries across the world. Formerly a dentist, she transitioned to pursue her passion for the arts. Her artistic journey began in Colombia and continued across England, Colombia, Norway, Russia, Trinidad, the USA, Canada, France, Denmark, and Portugal. Her diverse global experience is reflected in her work, which can be found in private collections in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, England, Portugal, Switzerland and the USA. Currently residing in Houston, Texas, Fear explores cutting-edge processes and methods, and materials to enhance her artistic sensibilities, while transcending the boundaries of traditional artistic forms. She works at her studio at Silver Street Studios in the Sawyer Yards arts campus near downtown Houston.
