b. 1970, London, Canada. Lives and works near San Francisco
Hummed, whistled, or sung, Day's recent work is preoccupied with the idea that two different states can exist simultaneously. Something is there and not there, is known and not known. Faith and doubt exist at the same time. This radical ambivalence brings with it deepening mystery and unlikely hope.
Day received her Masters in Fine Art from the University of California, Berkeley in 2005, and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Queen's University, Canada and the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland in 1992. Her work has recently been exhibited at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, New Langton Arts (San Francisco), Pacific Film Archive and the Berkeley Art Museum (Berkeley), Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, Parkway Theatre (Oakland), and Super Bien! (Berlin). Recent awards include a year-long residency from 2005-6 at the Headlands Center for the Arts (UC Berkeley MFA Studio Award), the San Francisco Foundation’s Murphy Fellowship in the Fine Arts and the Eisner Prize in the Creative Arts from UC Berkeley. Day is represented by Peak Gallery, Toronto and McCaig Welles and Rosenthal Gallery, San Francisco and Brooklyn.
