Kylie Manning’s first major solo exhibition in New York, There is something that stays, presents ten new paintings exploring the passage of time. Using local minerals like tourmaline, calcite, and quartz, Manning creates works reflecting personal and universal experiences, especially her transformation as a new mother. The paintings balance abstraction and figuration, expressing moments of fragility and permanence. The exhibition title references a Borges poem, capturing the tension between fleeting and lasting moments.
