Meet The Artist: David R. Day
Man cannot live by bread alone...although we might get some strong disagreement on that from fans of our bread pudding. Inasmuch as we believe in feeding the soul along with the body, however, we take great pride in supporting our local artists.
As part of our on going displays of local art, we'd like to take a moment to introduce you to our current artist, David R. Day (www.AmericanPhotoSource.com).
As a Boise native, David borrows a page from the time-honored axiom of great writers...only in David's case, he "shoots" what he knows rather than putting pen to page. The result is strong images that he hopes can be a "bit of a puzzle." When a viewer has to ask "where" or "what" an image is, he reasons, there is a communication that takes place between artist and viewer that David wants as the hallmark of his work.
David spent over half a year working on a new media concept that involves the application of pigment on copper -- a technique that more closely resembles painting than it does a more typical photograph. "I was looking for a stronger connection between what I see when I shoot an image and what people get from viewing it," he explains.
We could spend a thousand words telling you why we love David's work -- but as the saying goes, all you really need to do is stop by and take a look.
