E.V. Day first caught my eye when I saw her 'Bride Fights' exhibition (2006). {{Swoon}} Don't ask me where or how I discovered her because I don't remember, (I'm sure it was more of a stumble than anything else since I'm usually falling into my passions vs. seeking them...I'm clumsy, aren't I?), but I have religiously followed her and have been inspired by her work ever since.
I find her concepts to be breathtaking and I'm way fascinated. From flying thongs to brawling cat skeletons suspended in a cage to exploding wedding gowns...what can't she do with a little bit of wire and a whole lot of crazy?
So much of her most intriguing creations, if you ask me, involve deconstructing pop culture regalia and even blow up dolls, re-sculpting them with fishing wire and lighting them up in the knarliest way...if gives me the chills, yo!
Like, I totally get it.
I love her work immensely and I would highly suggest that you study up on her if you are at all into installation artistry or...fuck, if you're into art, period. This shiz is dope.
