Susan Day  September 19 – October 31

Opening Reception with Susan Day on Saturday, September 19 from 7-9pm
Event in collaboration with Nuit Blanche London

Upcoming in our middle gallery we are pleased to be feature new drawings, tile paintings and sculptures by Susan Day.  Interested in the human form and exploring identity and memory, Day’s new artworks are inspired by her own personal history and meaningful experiences while travelling in Italy.

Susan Day has an extensive exhibition and installation history as an artist working in ceramic, straddling the worlds of fine art and contemporary craft. In earlier works she has used the material qualities of clay (simultaneously soft and malleable and at times fragile and breakable) to expose the vulnerabilities of the body. Recently, she has used more oblique references to the body, drawing connections to nature and identity in large scale architectural installations.

Through this work, she has experienced the power of public (or public facing) art to create meeting places and instil pride and ownership in neighbourhoods and places where communities meet. This work embellishes surfaces in lived environments with relevant, important and provocative content and is the work she wants to pursue.
