Mirrors offer us a view into ourselves and a glimpse at perspectives other than our own. As a visible minority focused on unpacking the complexities of the body in identity, mirrors can be both beloved and contentious objects for Day; compulsively checked or intensely avoided. It is through the mirror that she asks questions, seeks acceptance, and comes to understand perception.

In Two Ways, Day brings the viewer into this relationship with a series of screen printed works that can, and in some cases must, be viewed through the use of mirrors. The artist invites you to compare and contrast the images as they are before you, or as they are reflected – and to consider which perspective rings more true.

Day’s work has been supported by the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts.
