Interdisciplinarian: Glory Day Solo Exhibition

INTERDISCIPLINARIAN: GLORY DAY Solo Exhibition
November 6 - 27
Opening celebration: Friday, November 6, 5-8pm

INTERDISCIPLINARIAN marks Glory Day’s first solo exhibition outside of her hometown of Greenville, South Carolina, reflecting the artist’s evolving practice and her deep connection to the traditions of craft. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an artist who refuses to be confined to one medium, instead allowing painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, woodworking, and still life to inform one another - bringing together a special body of work spanning multiple methods and reflecting the artist’s evolving practice and her deep connection to the traditions of craft. 

Having worked with Meyer Vogl Gallery for several years as a ceramicist, painter, and sculptor, Day approaches the exhibition as an opportunity to bring the many facets of her practice together. Her work is deeply rooted in materiality and the hand-wrought, drawing inspiration from her family’s history in textiles and woodworking while continuing to explore the objects, arrangements, and visual language of home.

“I wanted to put together a special body of work that draws the many threads of my art practice into a single chord,” says Day. “This exhibition will summate my work as I am, a maker in many materials and an artist making her way in the world.”

Across the exhibition, Day’s interest in still life and the artifacts of her home environment provides a common thread. Collected, presented, stacked, or otherwise placed, everyday objects become subjects through which she explores material, memory, craftsmanship, and the experience of home. Her multidisciplinary approach allows these ideas to move fluidly between mediums, creating a body of work that is unified not by a single material, but by the artist’s distinct way of seeing and making.

Straddling her family’s craft history and her own contemporary studio practice, Day embraces the possibilities of working across disciplines. “Straddling my family's craft history in textiles and woodworking has been a consistent goal for my work in the last several years,” Day explains. “This body of work combines my interests in materiality and the hand-wrought while continuing to speak through the visual language I have learned to love: still life and the artifacts of my home environment.”
