E.V. Day

E.V. Day (b. 1967) is a New York-based artist best known for her installation and sculptural works. Day’s work explores themes of sexuality and humor, manipulating the imagery of popular culture in order to spotlight the contradictions of gender roles and social stereotypes. Day received her MFA in Sculpture from Yale University School of Art and she was included in the 2000 Whitney Biennial.

Twisted + Meshes in the Afternoon 

In these two series of cyanotypes, E.V. Day has successfully translated the volume and spirit of her sculptural work onto paper. Day uses layered forms of fishnet stockings to create intricate, yet fluid, shapes and moiré patterns. The sensual shapes and human forms created by the stretched stockings are complemented by the richness of the cyanotype print. The images are both organic and highly structured, well suited for a medium traditionally used in architectural and industrial settings.
