‘Split Screen’

Solo Exhibition with The Pit, Los Angeles, 2023

Excerpt taken from The Pit’s press release:

’Split Screen’ is a reference to the way our fragmented experience of the world affects perception and memory. The immediacy and abundance of information we come up against everyday presents many parallel paths of reality. Personal memory and individual perspectives are often distorted by the natural fallibility of emotional attachment to a place, event, or moment in time. This body of work reflects that fractured mosaic through an idiosyncratic process of doing, undoing, copying, and reorganizing. The physical process of Day’s work relies on muscle memory and the inclinations or practiced gestures that are held within the body. All the paintings in this series begin with the same compositional form that finds new life in each iteration through the limitations of the physical self and irregular environmental factors – a method of painting that embraces chance interactions and the way a mark evolves as the artist attempts to replicate it.
