METAMORPHOSES

transmutations of material and surface

Eliza Day-Green practices a visual geology of the human psyche. Her work plumbs what lies beneath, what reveals itself, layer upon layer, to the viewer who lingers. Her work invites us to witness the marks our soul-depths leave on our surfaces, maps hidden in plain sight.

The rewards of such thoughtful looking are a joy in deep narrative and a private meditation on the metaphors, vulnerabilities, and transformations expressed there. Her work is both intimate and public, her themes both heartbreaking and exuberant. Day-Green is an artist in command of her material, flowing seamlessly among surfaces and treatments.

These exquisitely potent images invite a comparison to metamorphoses and transformations. Her work crosses boundaries of time and place, and expresses a through-line from her own travel, biography, and experience.
